John,

We benefit from public health every day.

Vaccines prevent the spread of deadly diseases. Food quality standards ensure that the meals we eat are safe. Seatbelt laws drastically reduce the risks of routine commutes. And much more.

And even though public health is a foundation of modern society, few people know about the breakthroughs and heroic efforts that make up its history, or how it has saved and improved countless lives. Now, you have a chance to hear that incredible history.

THE INVISIBLE SHIELD, a four-part documentary debuting today from RadicalMedia and made possible by Bloomberg Philanthropies, tells the story of life-saving efforts that have shaped our world.

At 10:00 p.m. ET, episode one airs on PBS, and all four epidosdes will be available on-demand at PBS.org and on the PBS app

This is an important moment to better understand the history and impact of public health, as questions of science are all too often politicized, and public health efforts are subject to mis- and dis-information campaigns that put millions of people at risk.

To watch THE INVISIBLE SHIELD, tune-in to your local PBS station at 10:00 p.m. ET. Or, check out the full docu-series online at PBS.org and on the PBS app.
