Winnetka Story: Part I

Winnetka Story is an award-winning, three-part documentary about the history of Winnetka and Chicago's North Shore. Originally released in 2009, this version has been re-edited in HD with new aerial footage.
Part I provides a glimpse into the history of Chicago and its rapid growth, making it the fastest growing city on the planet during the latter half of the nineteenth century. As the population swelled, the city fanned out and cut into the dark forest that once shrouded the North Shore.
