American Experience

FDR (1): The Center of the World (1882-1921) (7x1)

Air date: Oct 11, 1994

This first episode looks at the early life of FDR. Born into a wealthy family, there was little about his youth that would suggest the giant of history that he would become. His entry into state politics and a significant meeting with a woman named Eleanor would change his life and the course of a nation.
