My EE (in history) is about the popularization of reinforced concrete in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and how it affected later building efforts.

I've been watching a TV show documentary called "America: The Story of Us" which has a segment on steel used in reinforced concrete and skyscrapers, which I think would be incredibly useful for my EE. From what I've been able to see, from previous episodes, the show is surprisingly accurate. Would it be appropriate to use the show as one of my sources, or should I use a separate source with the same information?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and answers!

That's fine to cite in your EE, since it's a documentary published by a reputable source. Just make sure you cite properly :)
