Summary

This 12-chapter documentary series was created and executive produced by Academy Award-winning writer/director Oliver Stone. As Americans, do we really know and understand our shared and complicated history? How do we recall the small details and forgotten players that influenced some of the biggest events from America's past? Will children actually get the whole story from reading history books? And how will it affect the future of the country?
