The new documentary event will provide an epic portrait of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, unpacking how his own fight with polio prepared him for the challenges of leading the United States through the Great Depression and World War II. Based upon Goodwin's New York Times bestseller, Leadership: In Turbulent Times, viewers will experience a most harrowing, yet heroic time in history when through grit, commitment and shared sacrifice FDR was the right man at the right time to lead the U.S. and the allied nations, projecting confidence in himself and America.
Franklin Roosevelt overcomes crushing personal setbacks and leads the nation through the Great Depression with optimism, energy, and a firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
As Hitler sweeps across Europe, Franklin prepares a reluctant nation for war. Following the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, he leads America into the greatest conflict the world has ever seen.
Franklin rallies the industrial might of the nation and leads the Allied forces through the darkest days of the war.
