About the brand ❤️
American Experience is a long-running U.S. documentary television series, produced by WGBH in Boston and aired on PBS, that brings to life defining people, events, and issues in American history. Since its debut on October 4, 1988, it has combined archival footage, dramatic reenactments, and historical commentary to explore topics spanning politics, social change, culture, war, and science. The series has earned numerous Emmy and Peabody awards for its depth, storytelling quality, and educational impact. As of 2025, new production has been paused due to funding cuts, though the series continues to re-air past episodes and maintain its digital presence.
