The HISTORY Channel is set to premiere The American Presidency with Bill Clinton, a new documentary series hosted and executive produced by the former U.S. president.

The American Presidency with Bill Clinton explores the history of the American presidency and the struggle for a more perfect union across six episodes. Each episode takes on a different theme in American history: race, extremism, the struggle for rights, presidential vision, global power and economic might. It is slated to launch on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30.

This series features expert commentary from such authors, historians and witnesses to history as Pulitzer Prize winners Jon Meacham and Annette Gordon Reed, as well as Dr. Douglas Brinkley, Dr. Edna Medford Green, Dr. H.W. Brands and George Takei.

The American Presidency with Bill Clinton is produced for The HISTORY Channel by Category 6 Media group. A+E Networks holds worldwide distribution rights for the above program.

Eli Lehrer, executive VP and head of programming for The HISTORY Channel, said: “We are privileged to partner with President Clinton to take our viewers through these defining historical moments, to analyze the public sentiment at the time and the driving forces behind the critical choices made by a wide-range of presidents and the long-lasting effects that still define our country today—both good and bad.”
