When Gerald R. Ford took office in 1974, the United States was in turmoil, exhibiting parallels with today's political distrust. Now on May 27, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, 40 years after Ford's presidency, the National Geographic Channel will debut 'Gerald R. Ford: A Test of Character.' The film highlights the country's social and political unrest during his presidency and the character of one man with steadfast ability to build trust on both sides of the aisle, unite a nation, and gain respect from world leaders.
Narrated by Jeff Daniels, the film captures interviews with several of Ford's cabinet members including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Dr. Henry Kissinger. Challenges of the Ford presidency are illuminated by some of America's top political reporters and authors including Tom Brokaw, Bob Woodward, Dan Rather and Bonnie Angelo.
The film sheds light on the importance of character and trust as virtues in the world's most powerful position. It also shares how Ford did not have the traditional background associated with the contemporary presidency.
