Notes

This is a PBS show, and the source was kinda crappy. We made this look as good as
possible, but there are still some parts with single dropped frames and other parts
with slight blending. Nothing that you can really notice on playback though.

Summary

Dirty water has killed more humans than all the wars of history combined, but in the
last 150 years, a series of radical ideas, extraordinary innovations and unsung
heroes have changed our world. Steven Johnson plunges into a sewer to understand
what made a maverick engineer decide to lift the city of Chicago with jackscrews in
order to build America's first sewer system. He talks about John Leal, who
deliberately "poisoned" the water supply of 200,000 people when, without
authorization, he added chlorine, considered lethal in 1908, into Jersey City's
water and made it safe to drink. This isn't only about the world becoming a
cleaner place - the iPhone, the subway, flat screen TVs and even the two piece
swimsuit are the result of the valiant efforts of the unsung heroes of clean.
