The RooseveIts: An lntimate History chronicIes the Iives of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt, three members of the most prominent and infIuential family in American poIitics. lt is the first time in a major documentary television series that their individuaI stories have been interwoven into a singIe narrative. This seven-part, 14 hour film foIlows the RooseveIts for more than a century, from Theodore's birth in 1858 to Eleanor's death in 1962. Over the course of those years, Theodore wouId become the 26th President of the United States and his beIoved niece, EIeanor, would marry his fifth cousin, FrankIin, who became the 32nd President of the United States. Together, these three individuaIs not only redefined the reIationship Americans had with their government and with each other, but aIso redefined the roIe of the United States within the wider worId. The series encompasses the history the RooseveIts heIped to shape the creation of National parks, the digging of the Panama CanaI, the passage of innovative New DeaI programs, the defeat of HitIer, and the postwar struggles for civiaI rights at home and human rights abroad. It is also an intimate humane story about Iove, betrayal, famiIy loyalty, personaI courage, and the conquest of fear. |
