Janson Media today announced the release of the DVD Expo: Magic of the White City. The film is the first release since Janson Media’s acquisition of the Inecom Entertainment Film Library, previously reported in the pressroom. Narrated by Gene Wilder, Expo brings the historic Chicago World’s Fair to life. Viewers of this magical production will experience the world of 1893 through a cinematic visit to Chicago’s Colombian Exposition.
Nearly 28 million people visited the Fair. Dubbed the “White City,” it inspired future innovators like Henry Ford and Frank Lloyd Wright, unveiled the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack®, and, in many ways, marked the beginning of the 20th century. Against the backdrop of 1893’s troubles with workers’ rights, prejudice, discrimination and corruption, the World’s Colombian Exposition cast a brief ray of hope for the future of humanity.
Filmed in spectacular High-Definition, EXPO: Magic of the White City immerses viewers in one of the world’s biggest extravaganzas and one of the most unforgettable events in American history. There will never be another event like it… or will there?
