In November’s historic election, Americans will decide who will lead the nation for the next four years: Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump. Before the votes are cast, as it has for every election since 1988, FRONTLINE will present The Choice — its critically acclaimed election-year special offering interwoven investigative biographies of both major-party candidates.

Coming in the midst of an unprecedented campaign season that saw the felony conviction of former President Trump, an assassination attempt against him, and President Joe Biden’s exit from the race just four months before the election, The Choice 2024 is the latest installment in a FRONTLINE tradition that’s been praised as “richly detailed” (The Wall Street Journal), “completely riveting” (The Washington Post) and “essential election viewing” (Variety).

From award winning filmmaker Michael Kirk, who with his team has made five prior installments of The Choice and more than 25 documentaries about the Obama, Trump and Biden eras, The Choice 2024 draws on dozens of revealing interviews with those who know Trump and Harris best — friends, advisors and critics, as well as authors, journalists and political insiders — to present deeply reported narrative arcs of both candidates’ lives, going all the way back to their childhoods.
