Episode 1: Japan's defeat in World War II left its economy in tatters. But thanks to the efforts of a few visionary bureaucrats and business leaders, the country rebuilt itself and entered into an era of miraculous growth. No one in the early postwar era could have imagined that, in just 20 years, Japan would rise to become the world's 2nd largest economy. Compiling a vast amount of archival footage and recently discovered documents, this program explores the fascinating story of Japan's postwar boom
