In the midst of the historic coronavirus pandemic, economic hardship, rising unemployment, race riots and growing insecurity, U.S. citizens were called upon to choose between incumbent President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden in November 2020. After four years in office, the Americans had again a choice of who should lead the nation in the future. But who are the two candidates? How was their life proceeding? How were they influenced and what distinguishes them? In this 2-hour TV special, veteran FRONTLINE filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team use interwoven investigative biographies of both men to answer these questions with knowledge from friends, family, colleagues and adversaries about the challenges that affected Trump and Bidens lives and how it qualifies them to face up the crisis of the nation.
