AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
...particular documentary for my PassPort Experience, is because it talks about all the presidents that served from the early 1930’s till 1996. Also, I liked that the video was only 40 minutes long and it took from five to eight minutes to describe every president’s childhood, adulthood, successes and failures. From eleven presidents that were discussed in the documentary I would like to talk about three of them, which I think are the most important and significant presidents of the United States.
