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
