In six hour-long episodes, the docuseries will explore the stories behind a dozen photographs, with each installment covering two landmark images and stories, the people who captured them and the impact they had on culture and society.<\/p>\n<p>Among the photographs in the series is that of astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon taken by Neil Armstrong. There\u2019s also Ron Edmonds\u2019 images of U.S. President Ronald Reagan as he and his staff came under fire, Nick Ut\u2019s Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of &#8220;Napalm Girl&#8221; from the Vietnam War and Jeff Widener\u2019s photograph of the &#8220;Tank Man&#8221; in Tiananmen Square. Photographs of SAS Soldiers on the rooftop of the Iranian Embassy in London, the torture at Abu Ghraib prison, a balaclava-wearing terrorist at the Olympic Games, Charles and Diana\u2019s Royal Wedding balcony kiss and Nelson Mandela\u2019s &#8220;Long Walk to Freedom&#8221; are featured as well.<\/p>\n<p>The first episode of <em>Photos That Changed the World<\/em>\u00a0will premiere on HISTORY on Monday, July 22 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing and the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests. The full series, which is being distributed by Banijay Rights, will roll out in September.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Korn, VP of Programming at A+E Networks UK, said: \u201cIn a world of ever-faster moving imagery and \u2018fast-food\u2019 news, it is poignant and enthralling to hear directly from the men and women who captured history-in-the-making and their subjects, as well as an influential handful of the millions who were inspired by them, to change the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Osborne of Touchdown Films added: \u201cThis factual series retells history from an exciting new perspective\u2014through the eye of a lens. The stories behind these extraordinary photographs are told by those who were behind the camera and also by those who were caught in the frame. Viewers will get to appreciate the power of photography and also learn just how far some photographers are willing to go to get the perfect shot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Touchdown Films, a U.K.-based production company, has been commissioned by A+E Networks UK to produce the new factual series Photos That Changed the World.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":12926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[793,474,3840,3150],"class_list":["post-12925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ae-networks-uk","tag-history","tag-photos-that-changed-the-world","tag-touchdown-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A+E Networks UK Orders Photos That Changed the World - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A+E Networks UK Orders Photos That Changed the World - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Touchdown Films, a U.K.-based production company, has been commissioned by A+E Networks UK to produce the new factual series Photos That Changed the World.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-06-17T15:17:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-06-17T15:48:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Moon-Landing-photos-changed-world-619.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/\",\"name\":\"A+E Networks UK Orders Photos That Changed the World - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-17T15:17:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-06-17T15:48:43+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-uk-orders-photos-that-changed-the-world\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"A+E Networks UK Orders Photos That Changed the World\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
