Series Info

Based on historian David S. Reynolds’ award-winning book, “Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times,” the series, “Lincoln’s Dilemma,” features insights from journalists, educators and scholars, as well as rare archival materials, that offer a more nuanced look into the life of the Great Emancipator. Set against the background of the Civil War, “Lincoln’s Dilemma” also gives voice to the narratives of enslaved people, shaping a more complete view of an America divided over issues including economy, race and humanity, and underscoring Lincoln’s battle to save the country, no matter the cost. The series is narrated award-winning actor Jeffrey Wright (“Angels in America”) and features the voices of actor Bill Camp (“The Night Of”) as Lincoln and Leslie Odom Jr. (“Hamilton”) as Frederick Douglas.
Starring: Jeffrey Wright, Bill Camp, Leslie Odom Jr., Edward L. Ayers, Sidney Blumenthal
