In 1909, looking to shed its rough frontier past, the young city of Seattle decided to host a World’s Fair in the same grand spirit as those that preceded it in Chicago and St. Louis. Seattle welcomed the world to the University of Washington campus where visitors walked among palaces, saw new inventions that would change the world, and mined for mirth on the Paystreak - AYP’s Midway. Featuring thousands of historical images, rare archival footage, and contemporary interviews, the film explores the fair’s historical reverberations.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
