Since its inception, Frontline has never shied away from tough, controversial issues or complex stories. Frontline remains committed to providing a primetime venue for engaging documentaries that fully explore and illuminate the critical issues of our times. Frontline remains the only regularly scheduled long-form public-affairs documentary series on American television, producing more hours of documentary programming than all the commercial networks combined.
