A Century of Flight

About This Movie

A Century of Flight offers this intriguing deep dive into Delta Airlines' century-long saga. Directed by Joshua Seftel, it captures the grit and resilience of a company that faced numerous challenges but somehow soared above them all. The documentary has a reflective tone that pulls you into the world of aviation history, layering personal anecdotes with archival footage that gives you a real sense of the brand’s evolution. The pacing is deliberately steady, allowing time to absorb the significance of each milestone. It’s not just about planes; it’s about the people and the stories that shaped the skies. A nice blend of nostalgia and history, and you can feel the passion behind every frame. Quite distinctive in its approach, not your typical corporate documentary.
