A brand new docuseries from PBS entitled Citizen Nation premiers October 8. The four-part series prides itself on civil discussions as it follows teenagers across America with diverse personal and political backgrounds participating in the top civics competition, “We the People,” where difficult questions are tackled head-on. Expect the series to “reveal [contestants’] knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and politics, and wrestle with what it means to be a citizen today.”
