From elections to global conflict to the dawn of the personal computer age, much of the events of the 1990s molded our world in the new millennium.

Early 1991 saw the U.S. involvement in Operation Desert Shield. Global ImageWorks has footage of the conflict including footage of Saddam atrocities, rare footage of Uday Hussein's wedding and other unique footage of the Middle East.

In late 1991, Bill Clinton began his presidential campaign with numerous stops across America. Watch Global ImageWorks' footage of the early campaign stops.

In April 1992, Los Angeles erupted in violence as the four officers accused of the beating of Rodney King were acquitted. GIW's footage of this event includes a ride-along with the Los Angeles fire department as they tackle some of the largest fires of the five-day event.

From science and technology to music and entertainment, Global ImageWorks has deep content of many of these historical moments throughout the 1990s.
