American Veteran illuminates the veteran experience with a stunning range of voices from today and across the arc of American history.
From the citizen-soldiers returning from the American Revolution to today’s warrior class, they tell a deeply moving story, highlighting personal remembrances, drawing civilian viewers into an unfamiliar culture, and highlighting the evolving relationship between Americans who have served in the military and those who have not.
Episode 1 on October 21 shows recruits take the oath to serve, they leave the civilian world to become a soldier, sailor, marine, airman or woman. This is the start of their transformation. Narrated by TV host and former Marine Drew Carey.
Watch American Veteran on WITF beginning October 26 at 9pm. The four part series is also available for on-demand viewing through the PBS Video app.
