2011 · 87 min · Director: Eugene Jarecki

What Reagan Is About

Eugene Jarecki’s documentary treats Ronald Reagan as two separate things: a man who lived, and a myth assembled afterwards. Following the road from radio announcing to Hollywood to the governorship and two terms as president, it tests separately the claim that he did everything attributed to him and the claim that everything he did was good. The film appeared in 2011, the centenary of his birth, screening at Sundance and airing on HBO. Jarecki argues for remembering a complicated man whole rather than taking a side, and some reviewers found that stance not sharp enough for the subject.
