Polio at age 39, president at age 50. Explore the public and private life of a determined man who steered the United States through two monumental crises: the Depression and World War II. FDR served as president longer than any other, and his legacy still shapes our understanding of the role of government and the presidency. FDR is a film by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin.

The portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt concludes with his years as president (1932 until his death in 1945), how he dealt with the Great Depression, and his link with Winston Churchill during World War II.
