The Truth About Abraham Lincoln 1992

Overview

"What becomes a legend most? Perhaps an inventive film, with a bit of whimsy, to explore the complexities of history and its many layers of rewriting and mythology. Buckingham uses a variety of wonderful devices to reopen the case of the 16th president, presenting a series of statements in a true/false format. This film proves that the most established "facts" can offer the most fertile ground for new questions." – D. L., Onion City Film Festival program notes.
