PBS: CARRIER

On PBS

CARRIER premieres Sunday, April 27th at 9pm et/pt, only on PBS

CARRIER is a revealing story of daily life on a United States aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz. Given unprecedented access by the Navy to the ship and its personnel, the filmmakers shot nearly 2,000 hours of high-definition video from May to November 2005, during a full six-month deployment to the Persian Gulf. For the first time, a television series takes a raw and personal look at the Navy's role in this controversial war.

The CARRIER series Web site at www.pbs.org/carrier offers visitors a unique look at life on an aircraft carrier, with more stories and behind-the-scenes information, including additional video clips, an interactive tour of the ship, "where are they now?" participant updates, photographs, producer diaries and more.

"The CARRIER series shows real life dramas as well as the day-to-day lives led by sailors at war."
Markee, April 2008

"Do you really know what it?s like to be on this kind of vessel when it?s on active duty? No. But PBS can tell you."
American Way, April 2008
