CNN Millennium or Millennium: A Thousand Years of History or MM Millenium or Millennium is a CNN Perspectives[2] television series or miniseries[1] about world history[4] during the 2nd millennium from the 11th to the 20th centuries.[5]
The Millennium series should not be confused with the CNN Millennium 2000 DVD, which documented the celebrations around the world for the arrival of the year 2000.
Sir Jeremy Isaacs, filmmaker of "The World at War" and CNN's Cold War, and Pat Mitchell, president of CNN Productions and Time Inc. Television, served as executive producers. The CNN website elaborates:
Each of the 10 episodes of MILLENNIUM focuses on a single century, brought to life by five vignettes from five different locations worldwide.
. . . Its producers and crews . . . traveled 100,000 miles gathering footage. MILLENNIUM reconstructs the visual images of past ages using this footage, along with . . . re-enactments and computer-generated graphic animation.
Ben Kingsley's role as narrator remained confined to introducing the subject matter and placing it into context. Main protagonists such as Genghis Khan tell their individual stories in their native tongues, relayed to viewers through simultaneous translation.
Bernard Heyes was in charge of graphic design and animation. Richard Blackford composed the original musical score for the series.
