Just a Facts: The Industrial Revolution

Sound and video quality is very poor. This video consists primarily of two professors sitting in their offices talking to an interviewer, and it looks like the video was edited and spliced with iMovie. I was falling asleep after 5 minutes, and turned it off after 10. There is no way that high school students would sit through it.
It’s a shame, because I haven’t found a better option for introducing the Industrial Revolution in Europe, but you would be much better off not subjecting your students to this one.

I have a personal collection of over seventy historical documentaries, and I have to say this one was the absolute WORST one I had ever owned. I hated it so much I gave it away to a fellow student in one of my college history courses for FREE. The production value is so low that it was probably produced for less than one-hundred dollars, and only features a few historians none of whom are notable. The timeline in the documentary is also disjointed and may be confusing for individuals who are unsophisticated in the history of the industrial revolution. This documentary was so bad that I decided after watching it that the ‘Just for Facts’ series must have absolutely no professional standards for their documentaries and have vowed never to buy one again from this particular series of documentaries. Even my worst history channel documentary in my collection is exponentially better than this piece of crap. It should be noted that the few historians that are included do not even have a very efficient grasp on the industrial revolution, and are intellectually mediocre in their analysis of the various events they detail.

Terrible! One of the worst films on an important topic I have seen. Absolutely unusable in a classroom.

I purchased this video for my class and after the movie was on for ten min. only 3 out of 27 students were still awake. It is the most boring thing I have ever seen. I have a student teacher and even he fell asleep during this movie. They claim it is a must have for every classroom but if you waste your money on this video you are just plain stupid. I wish someone had warned me about this prior to my purchase. When the movie was over, the only thing that any student could remember was the fact that there was a duck clip that was shown 4 times. Please do not spend your money on this video. This is not a joke!

Just the Facts: The Industrial Revolution
I show this documentary every semester in my cultural geography class at a local community college and I find it is an excellent overview of the many economic and geographic factors behind the Industrial Revolution occurring in England. It summarizes many points that I cover in my class and brings many concepts together regarding economic geography. I highly recommend this product as an informative teaching tool. Although it is classified in my public library as being for teens, I would suggest that its academic level is higher, and perhaps why another reviewer has rated it as uninteresting for his students who maybe were not yet ready for all that it had to offer.
