As a scientist, architect, politician and key figure in the founding of America, Thomas Jefferson’s range of achievements is nothing short of spectacular. Noted documentarian Ken Burns applies his masterful storytelling to a story that’s full of incredible accomplishments and challenging paradoxes; of bold vision and all too human contradictions. Actor Sam Waterson provides the voice of Jefferson as relayed through personal journals and letters. 1997/color/180 min/NR/fullscreen.
