There is only one movie in history that can claim a U.S. president as its producer: "Built for the People: The Story of the TVA." This story began when President Franklin Roosevelt created the Tennessee Valley Authority -- a water and power company -- to mobilize an entire nation into action to lift the South out of the grips of the Great Depression.
Created by Academy-award nominated directors Sean and Andrea Fine, this documentary will take you on an epic journey from FDR's signing of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933, to the impact of the TVA on the lives of people across the Tennessee Valley today. You'll experience the transformation of an 80,000 square-mile region once ravaged by flooding, poverty and isolation into one of the most desirable places to live in the nation today. Produced by Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc., in concert with The Documentary Channel, this is a must-see movie for anyone who lives in the Tennessee Valley. (84 minutes, 2008)
