It was the war that divided our nation, a brutal and savage feud that
changed America forever. Pitting brother against brother, the Civil War
was our country's greatest internal struggle, as friends became foes in a
conflict that brought a country to its knees then ultimately reunited
it. Now, American Heroes Channel (AHC) transports viewers back to that
pivotal era in the exclusive new series, Blood and Fury: America's Civil War. Premiering Wednesday, December 14 at 10/9c, the series chronicles
the definitive story of one of the most extraordinary and bloodiest
chapters in American history. "At AHC, our programming is anchored by
real stories of conflict, action and heroism, none of which defined our
nation more than the Civil War," said Kevin Bennett, executive vice
president and general manager, American Heroes Channel. "With a
high-end, cinematic experience, Blood and Fury: America's Civil War is
as dramatic and compelling as any Hollywood blockbuster, taking viewers
beyond textbooks, and onto the frontlines of the iconic battles that
changed our nation forever. The picturesque nature of the content
presented an organic opportunity to travel back in time to the Civil
War, and we're thrilled to announce AHC's first-ever virtual reality
experience, Civil War: Letter from the Trenches will launch as a
companion VR piece." Told from a soldier's point-of-view, Blood and Fury: America's Civil War uses the war's most significant battles- Bull
Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettsyburg, Battle of Nashville and
Petersburg - to illuminate both the bigger themes and revel in the
smaller, little-known and surprising stories of this brutal, hellish
conflict. Epic, emotional, immersive and action-packed, each of the
series' six episodes is completely dedicated to historical authenticity,
telling the full scope of what happened at these key battles -
regardless of outcome.
