Ok for Franklin beginners
It's by the History Channel, so of course there's an over-reliance on dramatic re-enactments of Franklin's life. That's hardly academic. The interviews are not as great as they could be. It's good for those just beginning an investigation into Franklin's life and historical importance. There are, however, better DVDs in the AADL collection.
