Part of that has to do with featuring the project’s architect, Nikole Hannah-Jones, as the TV version’s guide and correspondent, frequently offering personal anecdotes and insights connected to her family history to shed light on the larger themes.
Yet Hulu’s six-part docuseries, “The 1619 Project,” illustrates the challenges bringing such a sweeping and complex undertaking to TV, feeling perhaps better suited to PBS than a commercial platform.
The political polarization evident in the response to the 1619 Project – the New York Times’ sweeping journalistic initiative timed to the 400th anniversary of slavery in America – makes its translation to television something of an event.
