Grant

From executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio. At the time of his death, Ulysses S Grant was the most famous man in the world, and stood alongside the likes of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in the pantheon of American heroes. However, today Ulysses S Grant is largely forgotten, his rightful legacy tarnished by a fog of myth, rumour and falsehood. Grant tells the remarkable and quintessentially American story of a humble man who overcomes incredible obstacles, rises to the highest ranks of power, and saves the nation not once, but twice. With a seamless blend of dramatic scenes, expert commentary and beautifully enhanced archival imagery, this three-part miniseries uncovers the true legacy of the unlikely hero who led the nation during its greatest tests: the Civil War and Reconstruction.
