Democrat and the Dictator, The

• 1983 ----- color ----- 55 min ----- vhs
• (Walk through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers, A series, Part 5) Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler embodied the very essences, respectively, of democracy and dictatorship. As if history was staging a morality play, the two came to power within weeks of each other, confronted each other in global warfare and died in the same month, gladiators of light and darkness. Through the powerful appeal of 50-year-old film, Bill Moyers traces their childhoods, early careers and pinnacles of power to show how each was a master communicator and stylist of ideas, imprinting an entire generation with their politics and policies.
