| Summary: | When the railroad ushered in one of the most transformative eras in American history, James J. Hill emerged as its unrivaled leader, building a transportation empire stretching across North America and on to the Orient. Beyond chronicling the rise of Hill and his empire, this four-episode documentary series explores America's evolution from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era, delving into complex issues arising from the expansion of railways, the displacement of Native Americans, the emergence of labor unions and government regulations, Wall Street manipulation, trust-busting and the birth of the environmental conservation movement. "The Empire Builder" offers an engaging and entertaining portrait of an individual and an era that shaped modern America.
