LOOKING FOR LINCOLN
WNET, 2009
Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. travels the country in search of the
"real" Abraham Lincoln in this ground breaking two hour
television special. The film shows how the Lincoln legend
grew out of controversy, greed, love, clashing political perspectives,
power struggles, and considerable disagreement over how our 16th
president should be remembered. Gates' quest to piece together
Lincoln’s complex life takes him from Illinois to Gettysburg
to Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles and beyond and face-to-face with
people who live with Lincoln every day – relic hunters,
re-enactors, and other surprising guests for whom the study
of Lincoln is a passion.
Produced and Directed by: John Maggio and Muriel Soenens
Senior Producer: Barak Goodman
