The idea that world history, and a lot of psychological fallout, can hinge on a single defining moment is the concept guiding Discovery Civilization’s two new four-part series. First up is Decisions That Shook the World, which premieres on September 28th at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT with ‘L.B.J. and the Civil Rights Movement.’ It continues over the following three Thursday evenings with shows about U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.
Immediately following, on October 19th at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT, is a four-part companion series, Days that Shook the World, in which two events are linked by a common theme in each episode. First up is ‘The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II/Death of Princess Diana,’ followed by ‘Black September/Lockerbie Bombing,’ ‘The Fall of the Romanovs/Fall of the Berlin Wall’ and ‘Assassination of J.F.K./Resignation of Nixon.’
