Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDeputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver states that the note President Reagan wrote while unable to speak, asking if anyone else had been injured in the assassination attempt on him, would become historically important because Reagan was the only president to survive being shot. Though not a sitting president at the time of the attack, former president and Bull Moose Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt was wounded by a gunshot on October 14, 1912. Like Reagan, Roosevelt was wounded on the left side of his chest, when a bullet struck him, passing through an eyeglasses case and a folded 50 page speech he was carrying. The bullet did not penetrate to his lung. Roosevelt continued with his scheduled speech and carried the bullet in his chest the rest of his life.
Featured review
Historically accurate documentary
As a student of American history and a great admirer of Ronald Reagan, I truly appreciate the research, accuracy, and care taken in the making of this documentary. I have a copy of the historical biography used in making this film and I can find no major discrepancies in the written work and the film adaptation.
Anyone with an interest in American history, a general interest in U.S. Presidents and the Presidency, or specifically the Presidency of Ronald Reagan will find this film informative and enlightening. It is a "must see".
I applaud the film makers for the due diligence, however, I have one pressing question. Where in the world can I purchase a DVD of this film to add to my personal library? I have looked in all the usual places and websites and have had no luck. Any information on this "extremely urgent" question is greatly appreciated.
