THOMAS JEFFERSON is a two-part portrait of our enigmatic and brilliant third president.
Premiered on PBS: February 1997
Thomas Jefferson embodies within his own life the most profound contradictions of American history: as the author of the Declaration of Independence, he gave voice to our fervent desire for freedom, but he also owned more than 150 slaves and never saw fit to free them.
