Did you watch the PBS presentation of “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History” this last week?
The PBS website carries this description of the presentation: “THE ROOSEVELTS: AN INTIMATE HISTORY chronicles the lives of Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, three members of the most prominent and influential family in American politics. It is the first time in a major documentary television series that their individual stories have been interwoven into a single narrative. This seven-part, fourteen-hour film follows the Roosevelts for more than a century, from Theodore’s birth in 1858 to Eleanor’s death in 1962.
The series was full of incredible photography, video, and did a great job of painting a portrait of the family, full of lots of information previously unknown to me.
If you missed the series, it appears you can watch all of the episodes online here: http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-roosevelts/watch-videos/
