With the recent death of Walter Cronkite America mourns the loss of one of its premier newscasters and the man who exemplified the best that is within us all. In this special presentation Cronkite takes us on an intensely personal journey through his life and times. As a journalist for over 60 years, Cronkite covered every major news event from the Great Depression through the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. He celebrated the country’s achievements, mourned its sacrifices and steadied his audience with his unflappable on camera personality. In good times and bad, one man was there through it all—Walter Cronkite.
