TV 20 HIGHLIGHTS  
   
Carrier: Manning the Rails Carrier
April 27 – May 1 at 9 and 11 pm

CARRIER is a character-driven, edge-of-your-seat, nonfiction drama and a once-in-a-lifetime total immersion in the high-stakes world of a nuclear aircraft carrier. CARRIER follows a core group of film participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the admiral of the strike group to the fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror.

The USS Nimitz is 24 stories high, three football fields long and carries more than 5,000 Navy personnel and 85 military aircraft. Filmed from May to November 2005, nearly 2,000 hours of high-definition video were captured aboard the ship during a full six-month deployment to the Persian Gulf, of which three months were spent in combat in support of the ground troops. For the first time, a television series takes a raw and personal look at the Navy’s role in this controversial war. Learn More...

The Presidents

Mondays at 9 pm in May

This spring, as a pivotal presidential election approaches, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents THE PRESIDENTS: seven 20th-century biographies that offer an intimate and compelling look at the men who have defined and re-defined the modern presidency, and who led the country through some of the most turbulent and consequential moments in our history. More Info... 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Monday, May 12 and 19 at 9pm

Radio broadcasts beamed his voice into living rooms around the country; his picture hung on the wall. His wife was the most admired woman in the country. “FDR” goes beyond the familiar words and images to offer an incisive, often startling portrait of one of the most extraordinary personalities ever elected to the presidency. One of the nation’s most popular presidents, Franklin Delano Roosevelt served three terms—longer than anyone before or since — and led the country through two great crises of this century: the Great Depression and World War II. The series includes archival film, home movies and audio clips; newly-filmed footage of significant landmarks in FDR’s life; an album of family photographs; and interviews with family members, friends and witnesses to history. Produced, directed and written by David Grubin.

   
The Turth About Cancer The Truth About Cancer
Wednesday, April 16 at 9 pm

As the third installment in PBS’ Take One Step health campaign, this program seeks to answer the question, “Why does anyone still die of cancer?” Award-winning filmmaker Linda Garmon shares the story of her husband’s battle with cancer. Learn More... 

   
Secrets of the Dead Secrets of the Dead (New Episodes)
Wednesdays, May 7 and 14 at 8 pm

Part detective story, part true-life drama, Secrets of the Dead unearths evidence from around the world, challenging prevailing ideas and throwing fresh light on unexplained events. Using the most up-to-date science in the laboratory and in the field, scientists and researchers examine the missing pieces of each puzzle, completing the picture of what had been merely an assemblage of suppositions. Learn More...

Wednesday, May 14 at 8 pm
