The American Vice President tells the little-known story of the second-highest office in the land, tracing its evolution from a constitutional afterthought to a position of political consequence. Focusing on the fraught period between 1963 and 1974, the film examines the passage and first uses of the 25th Amendment and offers a fresh perspective on succession in the executive branch.

The film premieres on Tuesday, October 1 at 8/7c.

Featured guests include:

Michelle Ferrari: the writer, producer, and director of The American Vice President. 

The discussion will be moderated by Cameo George, executive producer of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.
