FDR Film

During FDR's 12 years in office, most Americans were unaware that their president was paralyzed from the waist down. "He wanted to be president and it was just unthinkable in those days that a person in a wheelchair could be elected President of the of the United States," biographer Hugh Gallagher told American Experience. "And since he wasn't getting better, he developed better techniques for appearing to look better." Stream FDR online and in the @PBS app → https://to.pbs.org/407qmUT
