THE ASSASSINATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The American Experience, 2009
As the nation celebrated the end of the Civil War, President Abraham
Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. Joy turned to
panic as authorities launched the largest manhunt in American
history. Unraveling what school children are taught
year after year, The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
re-examines the two figures who define the extremes of character:
Lincoln, who had the strength to transform suffering into infinite
compassion, and Booth, who allowed hatred to curdle into destruction.
Written, Produced and Directed by: Barak Goodman
