People's President: Man, Myth and the Media

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chuck Workman weaves together more than 130 clips from films, TV shows, newsreels, and press coverage to explore the traits Americans treasure in a president and how well those traits relate to the daily grind of governance. Features narration by actors Michael Douglas, LeVar Burton, Kathy Bates, and Charlton Heston; commentary by film critics and historians, including Richard Schickel, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Arthur Schlesinger Jr.; and insights from former presidents Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.
