EXPLORER SERIES "EYES WIDE OPEN"
-
Oct 2015 - Jan 2016
This award-winning series presents compelling untold stories and covers a wide array of provocative subjects. "Explorer" aired for 25 years -- the longest-running documentary series in cable TV history -- before being relaunched in 2015 after a five-year hiatus. Each monthly episode of the new "Explorer" takes a similar deep dive inside a story from the pages of a recent National Geographic magazine issue, taking viewers not only to the most remote corners of the globe but also to the furthest reaches of the mind and deepest crevices of history -- on urgent missions of discovery.

2008 EMMY AWARD Winning "A Distant Shore: African Americans of D-Day" NEW YORK TIMES nod to the editor: "In a style that matches the reserve of its subjects, the film refrains from spending time — any time at all — on their wounded bodies. One man, whose leg was lost in the war, describes the injury; while he’s talking, the camera leaves him to his privacy, showing instead a ship from the period, its hull torn open by enemy fire." 2008 EMMY AWARD Winning "A Distant Shore: African Americans of D-Day" NEW YORK TIMES nod to the editor: "In a style that matches the reserve of its subjects, the film refrains from spending time — any time at all — on their wounded bodies.
