VIENNA,Va., September 15, 2012 — If Public Broadcasting has a crown, the “American Experience” is surely the brightest jewel in that crown. Now comes its latest production Death and the Civil War, promising to be one of the best moments on TV’s “vast wasteland.”
It will air on Tuesday, September 18, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. on local PBS stations.
Directed and produced by Ric Burns, brother of acclaimed documentarian artist Ken Burns of The Civil War series, Burns is recognized in his own right for his work on Coney Island, The Donner Party, The Way West, amongst other standouts.
The timing was designed to fit in with the 150th Anniversary of the War and specifically to coincide with the commemoration of the Battle of Sharpsburg, or Antietam, said to be the single bloodiest day in history with the deaths in the astronomical figures.
