Description: Jefferson Davis: An American President Documentary 3 DVD's Ships the next business day Total run time: 4 hours Jefferson Davis: An American President was five years in the making and is the first and definitive documentary film on the entire life of patriot and president, Jefferson Davis. Across three beautifully shot and edited episodes, the full spectrum of Davis' life comes into full view: from his frontier youth, to his loyal service to the United States as military officer, congressman, secretary of war, and two-term senator from the state of Mississippi; to his rise and fall as Confederate President; through his unlawful two year imprisonment after the Civil War; and finally covering his 25 years as a man struggling to find a country in the face of all that was lost. Jefferson Davis' life spanned the 19th Century and he was one of the pivotal figures that shaped the United States of America. His life was heroic and tragic and at all times, epic. This project not only covers Davis' public life, but also delves deeply into his private and family life. Though his own words, from letters and speeches, to expert analysis by leading Davis scholars, the film offers keen insight into the mind behind the man. Working in concert with the Papers of Jefferson Davis, and other primary sources, the documentary was meticulously researched and top Davis scholars from across the country were interviewed both on and off camera for the project. The filmmakers had exclusive access to the extant locations from Davis' life including:Rosemont Plantation in Woodville, MississippiBeauvoir in Biloxi, Mississippi First Confederate White House in Montgomery, Alabama Confederate White House in Richmond, Virginia Fortress Monroe in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and The United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.
