PBS has ordered a trio of documentaries: “Woodstock,” “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War” and Ken Burns’ “The Gene: An Intimate History,” the public broadcaster announced Monday at the Television Critics Association press tour.
“Woodstock” is a two-hour Barak Goodman doc tied to the 50th anniversary of the legendary 1969 concert held in upstate New York.
The four-hour “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War” is executive produced and hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and chronicles the confusing years immediately after the Union Army defeated the Confederacy in a divided America. Like “Woodstock,” “Reconstruction” is set to air next year.
