Product Description

He personified America at the turn of the last century, confident, exuberant, but suffered from hidden demons. He was Teddy Roosevelt, heroic figure of boundless energy and bleak emotions. Acclaimed filmmaker David Grubin uses letters, diaries, authentic film footage and interviews to create a fascinating profile of this ambitious man: fearless in combat, loving and generous with family, and unafraid to take on powerful financial interests.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The History of Teddy Roosevelt
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This is a most comprehensive collection of information regarding Theodore Roosevelt. He was a fascinating man, an adventurer and a man of action. He was also a bit of a war monger. You learn about his childhood of asthma and the belief that his parents feared he would never reach adulthood. This President was a strong motivator and worked hard until he was able to overcome his weak body. He loved this country and was intent upon making the lives of the average man better. He was also an avid hunter and his home at Sagamore Hill is filled with the heads of wild animals he had killed. An odd thing that struck me was the head of a wild animal in his wife's white and pink pristine parlor. It just did not seem to belong, there and I wondered why she didn't protest such a sight among her feminine things. The video is all too short, but it gives a fascinating look into the life of a unique and independent individual who was a real American icon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars He was truly one of our greatest presidents.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2014

    Very enlightening story...packed with facts and trivial info on Teddy....or..."TR", as he preferred to be called.

    He was truly one of our greatest presidents...Determined beyond belief.He did more to shpe our country than any otge president...before or after. He most definately was the peoples president.......Even tho he was born into great wealth....he chose to achieve his success on his own....and mixed with the working class and avoided the aloof rich.

    Even tho he was a Republican...by party....he was no Conservative.......He leaned heavily to the Liberal attitude and fought for the working class......He had no use, or respect for the lazy... or corrupt.

    I would recommend this film very highly.......and watching it once...is just not enough.....You will want to rewatch it...to see what you missed the first viewing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must See
    Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased these DVDs to learn more about each of the president's domestic and social policies. The ones that I have watched so far have been excellent and it has given me a better understanding of their personal character. It shows how their visions of the country is based on the presidents background and how Congress (especially the Southern Democrats) stymied passage of important Presidential legislation which could have had major and positive impact in race relations sooner and other important issues that affect us all.

    TR is interesting especially after having watched FDR and then Eleanor Roosevelt. For a Republican, TR was very progressive and you can understand why FDR and Eleanor respected him.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Well Balanced View of a Key Figure
    Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    The American Experience program on the life of Theodore Roosevelt is a very commendable treatment of the life and times of this important figure in American politics and history. While we will probably not agree with very thing Roosevelt did and every position he took, we cannot but see the importance of this man's life in our country's history. While TR's promotion of the Spanish American War was probably overall unfortunate, his work on conservation and the national parks system is a clear triumph. The program moves along well and gives a fairly balanced portrait of an important figure in our country's history.

    4.0 out of 5 stars TR -biography of 'the Rough Rider'
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I liked this video. It was both informative and entertaining. I still believe the US would have been better off had TR won the election of 1912 and 1916. I believe he could have negotiated an end to World War I as he did the Russo - Japanese war of 1904-5. Had he been able to do so , the world might have been spared the Bolshevic revolution in Russia and the rise of Hilters Nazi party in Germany. Alas we will never know unless someone developes a time machine.
    Think about that thought the next time you elect a president. Nov of 2012 might be another critical year as was 1912. Let's not make the same mistake again as the people did in 1912 by electing the idiotic professor, Woodrow Wilson.

    You'll know why he is deserving of that honor - and so many others - after watching this excellent documentary. Meet the man through vintage clips, photos, interviews and excerpts from TR's extensive letters and books - and discover why there is so much more to our 26th President than meets the eye. A man of contradictions and a man of conviction - all in one energetic bundle of ACTION.
