Description

Essential Docs: Highlighting some of the best docs of all time.

This Academy Award-winning film shares the story of an American dreamer who rose from humble origins to the heights of political power. Robert S. McNamara was both a witness to and participant in many of the crucial events of the 20th century: the crippling Depression of the 1930s; the industrialization of the war years; the development of a different kind of warfare based on air power, and the creation of a new American meritocracy. He was also an idealist who saw his dreams and ideals challenged by the role he played in history.
