Frontline
Frontline, television’s premier
public affairs series, launches its 26th anniversary season
this fall. Airing on Tuesday evenings, the series includes:
|
  
“
The
Choice 2008,"
a dual biography of the two presidential candidates—Tuesday,
Oct. 14 and again Monday, Nov. 3, both from 8-10 p.m. This
new two-hour special looks one of the most memorable
presidential elections in decades. It is a race that pits
the iconoclast John McCain against the newcomer Barack
Obama; the heroic former prisoner of war against the first
African-American major party nominee. This 20th anniversary
broadcast of “The Choice” examines the rich personal and
political biographies of these men and goes behind the
headlines to discover how they arrived at this moment and
what their very different candidacies say about America.

“Heat,”
a two-hour special spotlighting the election issue of
climate change—Oct. 21 from 8-10 p.m. For years, big
business—from oil and coal companies to electric utilities
to car manufacturers—have resisted change to environmental
policy and stifled the debate over climate change in America
and around the globe. Now, facing rising pressure from
governments, green groups and investors alike, big business
is reshaping its approach to the environment. |

“The War Briefing,” an inside look
at the real policy choices the next president will face—Oct.
28 from 9-10 p.m. The next president of the United States
will inherit some of the greatest foreign policy challenges
in American history—an overstretched military, frayed
alliances and wars on two fronts. The report features advice
about how to correct past failures and how to shape a
realistic foreign policy approach in the Middle East. |

“The Race 2008,” a
Frontline/Newsweek report on the 2008 presidential
campaign—Nov. 11 from 8-10 p.m. Scheduled just a week after
Election Day, “The Race 2008” will provide an intimate
backstage view of the high human drama of this historic
campaign—from twists and turns of the primary season through
the difficult attempts at party unity, the super-heated
general campaign with its media air war and get-out-the-vote
ground war, to the high stakes presidential debates and the
final exhausted dash to Election Day. |
