The True Legend of the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was erected to last no longer than 20 years after the World Fair of 1889. But how was it actually built, who built it and how did it become the most popular and instantly recognisable building in the world? By using the detailed day by day accounts left by the people who worked on construction, this docu-drama tells the fascinating story of the genius behind its creator, renowned engineer Gustave Eiffel, his vision and how this truly epic undertaking took shape and stunned the entire world. Featuring a blend of archive footage, CGI, factual accounts and dramatic reconstructions.
