Filmmaker Ken Burns tells the story of Thomas Jefferson, beginning with his youth in the Virginia wilderness and his early political career. Jefferson made himself into a true Renaissance man – a scholar, a philosopher, a diplomat, an aesthete, and an architect. As a young man, he was transformed by the fire of the Enlightenment into America's most articulate voice for human liberty.
