Seven-part documentary about three of the most prominent members of the famous Roosevelt family: Theodore, Franklin D and Eleanor. Following the family from Theodore's birth in 1858 to Eleanor's death in 1962 the documentary covers Theodore's and Franklin's presidencies, the creation of the National Parks of America and the digging of the Panama Canal, all events that the family helped to shape. Archive footage with voiceovers from Paul Giamatti, Edward Herrmann and Meryl Streep shows how these three people helped change the view of American politics.
