How do you kill a revolution?
This is the story of 1964.
Raise The Dead
“As true today as it was then.”
John F. Kennedy has been killed.
The biggest power vacuum in American history is open and the fate of the nation is at stake. In the second season of Raise The Dead we explore the 1964 battle between Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Baines Johnson. Race riots, landmark civil rights legislation, a secret senate sex den and the birth of the modern negative television campaign ad.
Along the way see how Barry Goldwater presaged what would eventually happen to Bernie Sanders and why the Nixon’s recordings that sunk his presidency would have never existed without LBJ.
News dies and becomes history, but tonight? We Raise the Dead.
