¡@¡@The world is watching Washington, D.C., this month as the newly elected President of the United States moves into the White House. National Geographic Channel (NGC) joins in the excitement with the latest addition to their successful Killing series. The series has displayed the channel's three most-watched programs of all time — Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and Killing Jesus. The latest movie, Killing Reagan, is based on the best-selling book of the same name. The film focuses on the events leading up to, and the effects of, the March 30, 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.
¡@¡@Killing Reagan stars Tim Matheson as President Reagan and Cynthia Nixon as the First Lady, Nancy Reagan. The story shows Reagan's rise to power and his time as president. It also explains the mind of the shooter, John Hinckley Jr., and what led him to try and kill the president.
¡@¡@This made-for-TV historical drama will be aired on NGC globally in 171 countries in early 2017. Viewers can tune in to watch Killing Reagan and see how being shot and almost killed affected the former leader of the US during this period in history.
