Air conditioning feels normal today but before cool air became part of modern life, heat controlled how people slept, worked, built homes, designed cities, and survived summer.
This documentary uncovers the hidden history of air conditioning: from ancient cooling tricks, shaded rooms, fans, ice, and thick walls to the first industrial cooling machines, movie theaters, offices, shopping malls, modern homes, and the rise of hot-climate cities.
How did one machine change heat, work, architecture, migration, comfort, and the way we live indoors? The story is colder and bigger than you think.
