Owning virtually every DVD on the Revolutionary War, I rate this one of the best. Excellent narration supported by subtle performances, provides the viewer with an intimate window into John Adams' contributions to the American cause and his close relation with wife Abigail. Constantly tormented by a fear that his political accomplishments would not be remembered along side those of Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson, the professional life revealed by this documentary leads the viewer to the conclusion that John Adams is an underrated Founding Father.
I bought it for my husband's birthday. The whole family loved it. We learned so much about Adams and his role in the founding of our nation. He had brilliance, wisdom,and courage. It was inspiring to see the strength of character and the abilities Abigail possessed; she was woman to admire. Their relationship was also fascinating. The movie was very well done. It was superbly cast. We appreciated the dignity of the production;it was done without sensationalism or vulgarity. We were captivated from beginning to end. We look forward to viewing it many times.
This American Experience documentary was an excellent overview of the life and times of John & Abigail Adams.
