PAL REGION 2
THE PRESIDENTS
is an unprecedented examination of the personal lives and legacies of the
remarkable men who have presided over the Oval Office.
From George
Washington to Barack Obama, THE PRESIDENTS gathers vivid snapshots of every
Commander in Chief to have guided America throughout its history, and analyses
their powerful personalities, weaknesses and major achievements. From the birth
of a nation to the Louisiana Purchase, and from a war fought over slavery to
the inauguration of the country’s first black president, the ever-changing
state of the nation has always been keenly reflected in the character of its
elected ruler. The first three discs are based on the book To The Best of My
Ability, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner James McPherson, and examine each
former president’s reign in detail, while the fourth disc delves deeply into
the life of Barack Obama and features previously unreleased footage of his
campaign and landmark victory.
Presidents are
ultimately judged by history, and Mount Rushmore is a perfect example of the
veneration and respect awaiting those men who excel in the role. An in-depth
look at the remarkable construction of this unique sculpture is included here,
as is a behind-the-scenes glimpse at some of the private estates that
presidents have called home when not residing at The White House.
Narrated by
Edward Herrman (The Aviator), this 3-DVD set is a proud addition to the
award-winning documentary tradition of HISTORY
