“LBJ Triumph and Tragedy” CNN Release Date; When Does It Start?

What Is LBJ Triumph and Tragedy About?

LBJ: Triumph and Tragedy – From CNN Original Series and Bat Bridge Entertainment, a new four-part series offers a captivating look at one of the most consequential and enigmatic presidents in American history: Lyndon Baines Johnson. As a master of the political process, he is responsible for passing some of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern history. But while he was reshaping the social fabric of America, he was simultaneously escalating a war that would rip the country apart at the seams.

Weaving together dramatic first-hand accounts from the last surviving members of LBJ’s inner circle, never-before-broadcast archival material and LBJ’s own voice from secretly recorded audio tapes, Emmy Award-winning director Pat Kondelis crafts an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life figure, who left behind a complicated and polarizing legacy. In recognition of the annual Presidents’ Day holiday, LBJ: Triumph and Tragedy premieres over two consecutive nights with back-to-back episodes on Sunday, February 20 at 9pm ET and Monday, February 21 at 9pm ET on CNN.
