Each season will unpack the untold and surprising stories behind some of the most exciting innovations that continue to influence our lives today.
Season 3, "LA Made: The Other Moonshot," tells the story of three Black aerospace engineers in Los Angeles, who played a crucial role in America&rsquo;s race to space, amid the civil unrest of the 1960s.&nbsp; When Joanne Higgins was growing up in Compton in Los Angeles, she heard her godfather, Charlie Cheathem, tell stories about his key role in the Apollo mission to the moon. As an adult, she realized that his experiences &mdash; and those of other Black engineers &mdash; had been left out of the history books. She set out to record for the first time the accounts of these men, now in their 90s, whose crucial contributions to the early days of the Apollo mission have been overlooked &mdash; or taken credit for by others &mdash; despite their ingenuity and determination.&nbsp;
Season 2, &ldquo;LA Made: The Barbie Tapes,&rdquo; tells the backstory of the world&rsquo;s most popular doll, Barbie. Barbie is a cultural icon but what do you really know about her?
