What Parents Need to Know
About Impossible Moves
Parents need to know that this entertaining docuseries spotlights feats of human ingenuity and mechanical resourcefulness that allow the transport of massive buildings and machinery. Impressive computer graphics detail the stages of the moving process as well as the imagined worst-case scenarios (some of which involve the collapse and violent dismantling of the object), making it easy to understand even for the uninitiated. Tweens and teens who like to know how things work will enjoy the series.
