THE NINETIES
Starts 2nd February, Sundays at 19:20 CAT
Rarely does a decade begin as dramatcally as the 1990’s. The world was just catching its breath afer the fall of the Berlin Wall when a series of extraordinary events crowded across the world stage. The collapse of East European communism, the freeing of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, the reunifcaton of Germany, the Persian Gulf War and the dissoluton of the Soviet Union. In the United States, the electon of Bill Clinton over George Bush signaled a politcal changing of the guard as the Greatest Generaton was ushered aside by the Baby Boomers. Grunge, Hip Hop and boy bands defned the decade musically as artsts like Nirvana, Tupac Shakur and N’Sync provided an almost dizzying variety of music. And of course, everything from culture to commerce was irrevocably altered as the world went online with the inventon of the Internet and the World Wide Web. AOL sought to connect everyone, Microsof seemed to dominate the world and Y2K threatened to bring it all to a crashing halt.
