Synopsis:


"BARKSKINS examines the mysterious massacre of settlers in the vast and unforgiving wilds of 1690s New France that threatens to throw the region into all-out war. Likely suspects abound -- the English, the Hudson's Bay Company and a band of Kanien'keha:ka (Iroquois) possibly in league with the English looking to drive the French from the territory -- but who or what brought these settlers to such a tragic end?

National Geographic's new eight-part limited series, BARKSKINS, created by Elwood Reid and based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Annie Proulx, transports viewers to the wild frontier of the late 17th century."

"A powerful friendship blossoms between a tightly wound widow and a free spirit with a shocking secret in this darkly comic series...

Grant (May 25, 2020 - History)

JUMP BACK TO TOP



Director: Malcolm Venville

Synopsis:


"HISTORY's three-night miniseries event GRANT chronicles the life of one of the most complex and underappreciated generals and presidents in U.S. history -- Ulysses S. Grant.

GRANT tells the remarkable and quintessentially American story of a humble man who overcomes incredible obstacles, rises to the highest ranks of power and saves the nation not once, but twice. With a seamless blend of dramatic scenes, expert commentary and beautifully enhanced archival imagery, this series uncovers the true legacy of the unlikely hero who led the nation during its greatest test: The Civil War and Reconstruction -- the herculean task to reconcile the North and the South. One of the most courageous and unexpected initiatives of Grant's presidency was protecting the right to vote for the four million freed slaves in the face of violent and widespread resistance."

Through a wealth of rare and newly unearthed footage and audio recordings, the series features an intimate portrait of the artists who created a musical revolution that changed popular culture. Uniquely immersive and experiential, this event takes us back in time to a place where a rustic canyon in the heart of Los Angeles became a musical petri dish. Featuring the music of Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Doors, Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, and many more."
