FDR — Plot

Franklin Delano Roosevelt is one of the most revered and influential Americans of this century.

Until this definitive 4-hour documentary based on two books by senior creative consultant and FDR biographer Geoffrey Ward, the personal motivations and physical and emotional trails that marked his life remained elusive.
