Exactly a hundred years after the world's last great global pandemic, find out if the 2020s will roar anything like the 1920s - the decade of jazz, flappers and speakeasies.

In the mid-1920s a young economist called George Taylor is writing an academic thesis on the silk stocking industry when he becomes the first to notice how women's hemlines are rising at the same rate as the stock market. Freed from wearing nearly 20 yards of fabric women can now play sport, drive cars and dance the Charleston.

When the Harlem Hellfighters, an African American regiment and the most decorated American unit of the first World War, return to New York their victory parade takes them the length of 5th Avenue. When they reach Harlem, they switch the music up from a military march to a jazzy swing, and the Jazz Age is born.

After a wannabe dancer and actress from the mid-West, known as pie-face to her best friend, is fired from her latest gig she finds comfort in a chocolate milkshake and a new hair-do. It's the world's first "shingle bob" and it will become the trademark cut of the flapper. Louise Brooks will go on to become the star of the silent movie era and her name will be lit up in Hollywood.

It's a decade of new possibilities when childhood dreams really can come true: Bessie Coleman becomes the first woman of African American and Native American descent to get a pilot's license; Shuffle Along becomes the first Broadway hit for an all-African American musical; and Harry Walters takes first prize in Harlem's annual drag queen's ball.
