This documentary is super well made..I've always thought the Roosevelts were the best presidents of all time. Unmentioned..Once Teddy Roosevelt was shot while giving a speech. He endured the shot without falling and shot the man who shot him. Then finished his speech. Later he went and had the bullet removed. The guy was a bad ass..
FDR faced the greatest challenges of any president. While being immobilized before the age of 40. He pressed on through real problems. Unlike the cartoon characters we've had for presidents the past decade..even the last half of century.. I lost my ability to just run or jump after nearly loosing my leg at 31. And broken spine at 18 that still bothers me 18 years later..I can somewhat concur with pain he must of felt. In crisis he still rose to the occasion. Which I really find motivating. Partially paralyzed, he had the entire country and it's allies depending on him and he never gave up. Without him the entire world could possibly be under nazi or Japanese regime..
Teddy Roosevelt's daughter grew to be just as valuable as her 5th cousin who she married. FDR(I don't condone royalty marriages to relatives but it's still more distant than the long line of insest that exist in England and other royal families throughout history. Anyways.) Elenor was invaluable not only to FDR but the country itself. In the end she may have been more righteous than her father. With more wisdom and empathy than both men..
A must watch for anyone with half a brain. Learn why. You won't be disappointed.
