Curious Minds: The Age of Reinvention // Hot Docs at Home
As World War Two ended, two new rival Superpowers dominated the global landscape: the USA as the acknowledged leader of "The West;" and the USSR as the leader of "the Communist Bloc." This new series from Curious Minds favourite Dr. Peter Harris will trace the extraordinary cultural and artistic developments that emerged in the shadow of this new "Cold War," transforming the modern world. Guiding us between Washington, Moscow and Berlin, the great world city that acted as the conflict’s proxy battleground, Dr. Harris will offer his trademark blend of wit and erudition, political analysis and cultural insight, and bring to life the era’s most impactful movements and icons. He’ll explore a fascinating age of reinvention whose impact is still felt today.
Led by Peter Harris, the former Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science of the University of Toronto. He previously helmed the popular Curious Minds series The Age of Upheaval: The 1920s and 30s in Paris, Berlin and New York; The 1960s: From Berkeley to Berlin; and Designing the World: The Global Starchitects.
