It’s a story of democratic yearnings and violent shortcomings, traceable not only in the actor’s legendary portrayals of pioneering settler (\u003cem\u003eDrums Along the Mohawk\u003c\/em\u003e), migrant sharecropper (\u003cem\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/em\u003e), gullible heir (\u003cem\u003eThe Lady Eve\u003c\/em\u003e), and president (\u003cem\u003eYoung Mr. Lincoln\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFail-Safe\u003c\/em\u003e), but also in his own life as the descendant of a Dutch family in pre-colonial New York, and as a witness to watershed events of the 20th century: the Omaha Race Riots of 1919, the war in the Pacific, the civil rights struggle, and the ascendance of another actor, Ronald Reagan, at the climax of the Cold War. “His face is a picture of opposites in conflict,” John Steinbeck once remarked, and indeed Fonda, perhaps more than any other actor of his generation, brought a sense of moral anguish to nearly every role he played, whether victims of injustice (\u003cem\u003eYou Only Live Once\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Wrong Man\u003c\/em\u003e), or messengers of salvation (\u003cem\u003eMy Darling Clementine\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e12 Angry Men\u003c\/em\u003e) and terror (\u003cem\u003eThe Ox-Bow Incident\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time in the West\u003c\/em\u003e). Tracing the entwined, complex trajectories of an actor and his nation in Hollywood movie clips, recorded interviews, and a cross-country pilgrimage to significant landmarks, Alexander Horwath—together with Michael Palm and Regina Schlagnitweit—has created a magisterial work of cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edirected by: Alexander Horwath\u003cbr\u003estarring: Various\u003cbr\u003e2024 \/ 184 min \/ 1.78:1 \/ German, English DTS-HD MA 5.1, 2.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAdditional info:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion A Blu-ray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChristian Petzold in conversation with Director Alexander Horwath\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKent Jones in conversation with Director Alexander Horwath\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e32-page booklet featuring on-location photos and writing from J.
