With interviews conducted throughout 63 countries and in ~40 languages, the metadata-rich, unedited video—including over 62,000 index terms applied to the one-minute segment—provides multiple pathways to learn from the eyewitnesses of history across time, locations, cultures and sociopolitical circumstances.
