DICK CHENEY: A HEARTBEAT AWAY
7/24 (Mon) @ 4:30pm
7/30 (Sun) @ 8pm
Produced by Wyoming PBS
The story of Dick Cheney, the man historians have dubbed the most powerful Vice President in the history of the United States. The story is recounted in his own words, reflecting on his modest upbringing in Casper, WY, his lifelong high-risk heart problems, and his assessment of the world leaders he dealt with. In intimate detail, he recalls the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, and reveals details of the crisis never told before. Other voices lend perspective - Wyoming friends who have known Dick Cheney his entire life, journalists critical of his grip on the levers of power, and first-hand observers of his nearly half a century in politics and government. From this emerges a full-rounded portrait of one of the most powerful men of the last century.
