From the President The Clinton Presidency “Love him or not, Bill Clinton is a remarkable political figure,” says WGBH’s Mark Samels, executive producer for American Experience and the guiding force behind The Presidents, our award-winning collection of presidential biographies. this month, we’re proud to premiere the latest addition to this collection: Clinton (see page 15). “enough dust has settled on the Clinton presidency for us to look back and ask, ‘How did it come about? How did he get there? And what happened while he was there?’ ” mark explains. the film goes deeper than what you think you know or remember about our 42nd president, taking you behind the scenes to offer fresh insights about both the man and his presidency. “As with all our presidential biographies, the story of Clinton is told by those around him, who knew him best,” says mark. “We had extraordinary access to everyone—from the folks who grew up with him in Arkansas and were part of his political life as governor, to the people in his cabinet and inner circle in the White House.” the result is a stunning, 360-degree portrait of one of the most talented, flawed and fascinating politicians in American history. the film also provides context for where we are as a nation today. “so much of our political landscape right now—everything from the debate over health care to the role of the military, to surpluses, to debt and jobs, to the rivalries between the two political parties—was part of Bill Clinton’s presidency as well,” mark says. “We hope our film offers viewers perspective on how some of the issues that feel so intractable today actually are part of what America is…part of what America has been from the very beginning.” Looking to the past to shed light on the present always has been key to WGBH’s mission. thanks to your generous support, WGBH is making history every day.
