Part 7. When this final installment of
The Roosevelts begins, in 1944, there still are two Roosevelts, Franklin and Eleanor, alive at the center of this fascinating narrative.

This latest Ken Burns documentary is a superb work of research and storytelling from start to finish – and tonight is the finish. For my full review, see
