Through rare archival footage and revealing eyewitness testimony, the first two hours of The 2000s: A New Reality tells the story of the first half of a turbulent decade. Thestory begins with the most controversial election in American history, and how the result may have turned on the fate of a 7-year-old child, Elian Gonzalez.
