PREMIERING TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 
AT 8PM EST ON PBS

From acclaimed filmmaker Ric Burns, Death and the Civil War explores an essential but largely overlooked aspect of the most pivotal event in American history: the transformation of the nation by the death of an estimated 750,000 people—nearly two and a half percent of the population—in four dark and searing years from 1861 to 1865.
