History channel once played something called “History Rocks” and it’s just an hour long documentary of period specific events, but there’s no voice over narrating anything. Instead they played raw footage with music from that time period and subtitles at the bottom explaining what was happening. I saw one episode for Vietnam once and hearing “The Police - SOS” while watching personnel shove helicopters off flight decks to make room for more evacuees from Saigon really showed just how awful it was. I can’t seem to find those episodes anywhere.
