Forgotten historical figure.
5 January 2000 | by (Auburn, Me) – See all my reviews

While the TNT originals are not always the greatest films ever made for TV they do have some of the better stories for made for TV films. Glory & Honor essentially about Robert Pearys black assistant Mathew Henson is such a movie. Henson who was as important a figure as Peary in the quest for the North Pole was for years ignored for his accomplishments, dedication and hard work. This film pays honor to Henson and rightfully so.
