All three films on Volume 3 grew out of the remarkable exhibition The World of Franklin and Jefferson, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the celebration of America's bicentennial.
The first film, The World of Franklin and Jefferson, uses the lives of Franklin and Jefferson as prisms through which to evoke colonial America. With a dynamic timeline and a wealth of images drawn from architecture, science, and politics, the film brings alive the way American history shaped, and was shaped by, these two men. Benjamin Franklin, standing for the best in colonial wisdom, and Thomas Jefferson, representing the opportunities and ambitions of a new nation, together offer a compelling approach to this richly textured area. Also on this vilume: The Franklin and Jefferson Proposal Film and The Opening of an Exhibition, showing the Paris opening of this incredible exhibit.
