Centennial background

Centennial

Colorado's economic and cultural development over two centuries, from the mid-1700s to the late 1970s.

The series follows the development of Centennial, Colorado, through the interconnected stories of numerous individuals who arrive in the area for various reasons, including financial gain, a quest for freedom, or a life of crime. The narrative also explores the complex and often fraught relationships between the U.S. colonists and the Native American population, who are often subjected to bigotry and prejudice. Ultimately, the story culminates in a century-spanning murder mystery that remains unsolved until the very end.
