Transforming a Valley: The Power and Legacy of the TVA

Tells the history of Tennessee Valley Authority, especially the first dam, Norris Dam. In 1933 with President Roosevelt, TVA was given the broadest possible mission: to tame the forces of nature, create cheap energy, and produce a lasting prosperity in the Depression-wracked Tennessee Valley, a region the size of Great Britain. Several people talk about how TVA changed the lives of the region for the better.
