    10/10
    An excellent look into one of America's most influential families
    This is indeed my favorite documentary. It's an intimate look at the life of the best president ever Teddy Roosevelt, his niece Eleanor Roosevelt, and her husband Franklin Roosevelt. I am biased, you see, so I will admit that my favorite bits are about teddy, and his war hero sons.

    Although Eleanor's accomplishments are incredible and I'm more impressed with her than I am with her husband Frank.

    If you only see one documentary this year, make it this one. For I can only describe it with one word: BULLY!

    And remember, speak softly and carry a big stick!
