- The Great Chicago Fire
E1The Great Chicago FireOn October 10, 1871, Chicago awoke to an unrecognizable landscape: where 48 hours earlier there had been a vibrant city, now there was nothing but rubble stretched for miles on end. The event is brought to life as never before, using vivid animations, elaborate re-creations, and interviews with historians and the descendants of eyewitnesses. - Inventing Improv
