FDR. Part two, Fear itself

This program begins with Roosevelt's paralysis from polio at age 39 and follows his relentless struggle to rehabilitate his body and teach himself to appear to walk. A portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt emerges during these years of a woman making a life of her own, developing her own political skills while keeping her husband's name before the public through her involvement in reform causes. By 1933 a remarkable series of events has revived FDR's moribund political career and brought him back from despair to win his party's nomination as president of the United States.
