Frontline PBS: Voters should watch 'The Choice 2024: Harris vs. Trump'
PBS presents intriguing and startling differences we may have not known about the 2024 presidential candidates
When I first joined Impact Marketing (and Amazon’s Affiliate program), my goal was to find brands that I actually buy products from, topics I actually care about and companies I want to bring attention to. And the millisecond I saw PBS on the Impact Marketing list, I leaped to apply. Sure, a lot of Shop PBS is old school, with collections of DVDs and CDs. But there are lot of other things on that Shop PBS site that I could spend hours enjoying.

Still, one of my favorite projects that comes from PBS is not a tangible item. It’s their docuseries “Frontline PBS.” I’m not a huge documentary person. Some are OK, but I could usually take or leave them. However, PBS is the one exception to this rule. I love their “Frontline” episodes. I can spend my entire day just watching episode after episode. I’ve watched topics I neither knew about nor cared about, solely because it was a “Frontline” episode. The creators, producers and journalists do a superb job of interviewing a diverse crowd and intelligently presenting both sides of any topic.
It was not a surprise to me that they did just that with their latest episode “The Choice 2024: Harris vs. Trump.” If you don’t watch any other episode (although I’d recommend watching every episode I have — even if you don’t have 43 seasons’ worth of time to do so), watch this one. From documenting Harris’ early AKA days, friendships, going from activist to prosecutor, and being in opposition to the police (after not pursuing the death penalty when a cop was killed) to Trump's complicated relationship with his father, brother, former President Barack Obama and New York, “Frontline” makes sense of why these candidates are how they are.
Watch it, and tell an (undecided voter) friend too!
