A worthwhile bio-pic which belatedly knocks an American icon undeserving of secular sainthood off his lofty pedestal.

Product Description:
For more than a century, Abraham Lincoln’s life and political legacy have captured the American imagination--everything from his childhood to his assassination has been studied, re-enacted, and mythologized. This in-depth PBS special, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., separates fact from fiction in a variety of arenas, including Lincoln’s sexuality, his position on slavery and equality, and his reported bouts with depression.
Description by PBS Video:
The series will dissect the myths that have grown up around Abraham Lincoln, and in doing so, will address outstanding questions surrounding him - questions about race, equality, religion, depression, and sexuality - by carefully interpreting the evidence provided by people who actually knew him.
