The 90s The Decade That Connected US Exposed
It's the countdown to the end of the century, and the pre-millennial tension is rising as Osama Bin Laden declares war on America.
The '90s were a decade of highs and lows. Bill Clinton swept into the United States Presidential office on the promise of change; viewers made new "Friends"; civil war rocked Rwanda; a notorious Colombian drug lord was taken down, and MTV's "The Real World" changed the television programming landscape. It was a time when technology accelerated us into our digital future, and a time when billionaires were created faster than ever before. With a star-studded cast of actors, eyewitnesses, politicians and celebrity interviewees, The 90s: The Decade That Connected Us tells the story of 10 years before boom turned into bust; 10 years when the Web was wide open; 10 years before global terror hit hard.
