"A three-part documentary event, Abraham Lincoln is a definitive biography of the 16th president, the man who led the country during its greatest crisis. Featuring over seven hours of compelling live-action scripted scenes, interviews with esteemed historians and public figures--including President Barack Obama--as well as archival materials, and segments acknowledging the invaluable influence of abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass in seizing the moment for fundamental change, Abraham Lincoln chronicles the making of one of the country's most towering figures, whose life and presidency reverberate still as the full promise of America is yet to be fully realized"--Container.
