The Gipper... We have been missing him for so many years and during that sad week we have been attached to TV and watched him and he still filled us with unsurpassed smile and optimism. This DVD came out just in time. It features that sad week and wonderful Barbara Walters who presents us the show. From Simi Valley to Washington, DC and back, you will see Presidential funeral and those are unforgetable scenes. Very sad DVD but very necessary and wonderful tribute to the Gipper!

Great video and naritive. However, this should have been a neutral look at President Reagan and instead was very Left (liberal) leaning. It is not neccessary to "Portray" President Reagan in any partisan light in a commemrative documentry. True, he was a Republican President, but he was an "American" President. It should be enough to just present the man and his presidency without leaning the depiction of him either way. Present both sides of the issues covered and let the intellegent people who purchase or see this DVD make up their own minds on issues. Don't walk me down the path or perspective you want me to see things from. The facts presented are of course all acurate, however, they are from one side and not a fair or balanced look at this man or his presidency or even a neutral look at his lasting impression on this nation. My opinion only.
