The documentary, based on Jon Meacham’s 2018 bestseller, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, looks at the the United States’ current political and historical moment by examining its past, said network officials. 

In addition to extensive interviews with Meacham, the film features insights from civil rights activist Donald Tamaki; actor and activist George Takei; civil rights attorney Dale Minami; civil rights activist Janice Wesley Kelsey; and late U.S. Representative and civil rights activist John Lewis.

HBO will develop a documentary series on the history of Black television produced by actress Issa Rae, the network said Wednesday.

The two-part documentary, Seen & Heard, explores the history of Black Television as seen through the eyes of trailblazers who wrote, produced, created and starred in groundbreaking series of the past and present, said network officials. Rae (Insecure) will serve as executive producer on the series along with Phil Bertelsen (Who Killed Malcolm X?), who also serves as director on the documentary series. 

"Black people have such a rich, but often unacknowledged history in Hollywood," Rae said in a statement. "We have defined American culture and influenced generations time and time again across the globe. I'm honored to pair with Ark Media to center and celebrate the achievements of those who paved a way for so many of us to tell our stories on television."

In addition, HBO has secured Mark and Jay Duplass to produce The Lady and The Dale documentary series exploring a 1970s auto scam centered around mysterious entrepreneur Elizabeth Carmichael, the network said.

HBO also announced a slate of weekly, crime-focused documentary films to debut this Fall including Crazy, Not Insane, Baby God, The Mystery of DB Cooper, Alabama Snake, and The Art of Political Murder.
