FDR, a three-part miniseries, redefines our 32nd president's mythic place in American history by showing the viewer a new side of this supposedly well-known leader. Our Franklin isn't just a president speaking at the podium, but a young man desperate to prove he's got something to offer the world. He's not a black-and white photograph but a cocky Assistant Secretary of the Navy whose reckless behavior threatens his family and his future. Most importantly, he's not a pillar of strength, but a man stricken with polio, who transforms himself by learning how to listen to others. In each episode, we'll show the making of a true American leader by digging into Franklin's intimate crucible events - from the moment he realizes he may never walk again to the early morning of June 6, 1944, when he anxiously awaits word about the Allied invasion on the beaches of Normandy. The series also explores Eleanor Roosevelt's trajectory from a smart-yet-insecure young woman to a crusader for human rights, and how her husband's illness transformed her as well. In many ways, her story is the story of women in the early 20th century: a gradual awakening of her physical, mental, and political power. Like our revelations about Franklin, the series will show the key moments when Eleanor decides to take charge of her own life. And though the two grow apart romantically, we'll show how their deep bond as president and first lady will become a bedrock for a nation on the precipice of disaster.
