Comments about PBS American Experience: Panama Canal DVD:

Very well done historically and artistically. You end up wondering how that canal ever got built.

Comments about PBS American Experience: Panama Canal DVD:

My grandfather was a Canal Worker from Barbados, in the 1920's so the documentary filled in some blanks of the records we already had. Great documentary!

amazing video of a giant project

Comments about PBS American Experience: Panama Canal DVD:

I had personal interest. My grandfather, F.H.Robertson,M.D., as a young physician provided medical care in the canal zone. He served at the end of construction because he didn't graduate until 1911 from Memphis Medical College(University of Tenn).
