He theatrically pits inventor Philo Farnsworth and media mogul David Sarnoff in a rollercoaster blend of reality and fiction---encompassed by fascinating information every step of the way as we journey back to the 1920's and 1930's to witness this birth. 19 actors play over 150 parts as this captivating drama plays out in front of our eyes.
