Episode 2: In 1900, Hollywood was a peaceful village with sheep, goats and pigs wandering along its dusty streets. Then filmmakers arrived in search of permanent sunshine, and changed the town forever. Cecil B. DeMille directed Hollywood's first feature-length film, "The Squaw Man", in an old stable on Vine Street. Residents watched with disapproval and amazement as the sets for D.W. Griffith's "Intolerance" reared above their bungalows. The silent films produced by Hollywood transcended national boundaries and languages to become the most powerful medium of mass entertainment the world had ever known.

Includes rare footage and excerpts from THE SQUAW MAN (1914), INTOLERANCE (1916), and JOAN THE WOMAN (1916); interviews with Henry King, Allan Dwan, Agnes de Mille, Lillian Gish, Anita Loos, and more.
