2000 VHS • CNN Millennium Celebration VHS 60 FPS

About

A live CNN broadcast special hosted by Larry King covering the arrival of the year 2000 across global time zones, recorded in full. The program follows midnight from east to west, beginning at Kiribati's Millennium Island in the South Pacific, which was renamed from Caroline Island and repositioned relative to the International Date Line to become the first land to enter the new year.

Coverage proceeds through Auckland, New Zealand, including footage of the first births of the new millennium in West Auckland and a large fireworks display, then to Sydney, Australia, where a $3.5 million display launched from seven kilometers of harbor including the Opera House is described as the largest in Australia's history. Japan and South Korea are covered next, with CNN correspondent footage from Tokyo and Seoul. Beijing Bureau Chief Rebecca McKinnon reports from China. Coverage continues to New Delhi, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Egypt, Johannesburg, Paris, Lagos, Rome, and Rio de Janeiro. The United States segment begins at approximately 1:00:42, with Wolf Blitzer reporting from Washington, D.C. and Fred Hickman reporting from Times Square before an estimated crowd of two million.
