Richard Dreyfuss hosts this two-hour tour of the capital that brings to life the people, stories and symbolism behind its famous monuments.

Washington D.C. is a city steeped in controversy and debate. And this contentious culture extends beyond the halls of Congress to the physical structure of the capital itself.

In this entertaining and illuminating special, Oscar® winner and history buff Richard Dreyfuss heads to D.C. to tell the fascinating stories of the people, symbolism, and struggles that gave rise to city we know today. There are obligatory stops at the monuments to Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson, exposing little-known facts about these famous touchstones, but the program also explores lesser-known sites, including the first-ever extensive documentary treatment of the FDR memorial. Renowned historians and top government officials share their impressions of past and current debates--including the highly-publicized decision to place the World War II memorial on the Mall--and we'll go all the way back to the 18th-century meeting that made it all possible, where the site of the capital itself was determined.

This feature-length exploration of Washington's secrets boasts an original score written by the Oscar®-winning composer of Mr. Holland's Opus.
