LBJ

LBJ centers on the political upheaval that Vice President Johnson faced when he was thrust into the 36th presidency at the hands of an assassin's bullet in November 1963. With political battles on both sides of the aisle, Johnson struggles to heal a nation and secure his presidency by passing Kennedy's historic Civil Rights Act. LBJ covers five years in Johnson’s political life, from 1959 to 1964, including his time in the Senate, his vice presidency under John F. Kennedy, and his being thrust into the most powerful office in the world after Kennedy’s assassination.
