Andrew Jackson: Good, Evil and the Presidency

Synopsis

"The complicated personality of America's seventh president is explored in detail in this two hour PBS documentary, leaving the viewer to decide whether the man should be celebrated for his achievements or condemned for his ignorance and savagery." [IMDb] "This biography explores whether Americans should celebrate Jackson or apologize for him. The program reveals the world of America's 7th president, who boldly founded the Democratic Party - yet was viewed by his enemies as an American Napoleon. Narrated by Martin Sheen, the film tells a story with startling relevance to the modern presidency by bringing to life one of the most remarkable, yet divisive presidents in our history." [pbs.org]
