Famous People To Make History Interesting Again?

What’s more boring than a documentary on The History Channel about history? Not much. How can you make it interesting again? Get movie stars in on it!
Actors Matt Damon, Viggo Mortensen and Marisa Tomei are set to re-enact parts for a documentary entitled The People Speak about how America’s democracy was shaped in its formative years. Damon is involved in a segment about the novel The Grapes of Wrath and Tomei will play factory worker Harriet Hanson Robinson. Mortensen will play an awesome family guy that kills a bunch of Russian mobsters. That last one isn’t true.
Hopefully it’s half as good as Drunk History:
