Blending interviews and historical photographs with breathtaking original high-definition video, BUILDING ALASKA, a 90-minute documentary, recounts the dramatic stories of how engineers, constructors and craft workers built some of the greatest feats of infrastructure in the state�and around the world�under some of the most challenging conditions.

Featured are stories on construction of Alaska railroads of the early 20th century; building the Alaska Highway construction and invasion of Alaska by the Japanese in World War II; and rebuilding the state in 1964 after the biggest earthquake ever in North America.
