NEW VIEWS Documentaries & Dialogue: “41ON41”
“’41ON41′ is a strong, good-hearted portrait of an American president whose standing among his countrymen keeps growing and for reasons the film puts sharply into focus in the most human and compelling of ways. I don’t think its importance can be overstated… I try to imagine what it would be like to watch a documentary complied of soliloquies spoken by those — and in comparable numbers — close to John Adams or Harry Truman. Think of what a gift to history that would be! And so it may be said of this film: It is a great gift to history.” –David McCullough, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “John Adams” and “Truman”
