The video begins with an outright eulogization of the personality of Woodrow Wilson. In the first instance, he is introduced as someone who had suffered a devastating stroke and now he plunges in a journey down the memory lane, as he watches the newsreels prepared by the secret service and his friend, Ray Baker. The newsreels stand as evidence of the magnanimity of his personality. On a personal level, he has been regarded as “tremendously effective, practical politician and a very deep thinker” (PBS, n.d.). He imbibed some of the indelible attributes of both Thomas Jefferson as well as Abraham Lincoln, which made him earned the epithet of being one of the five greatest Presidents.
