Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous With Destiny examines and celebrates
the life and legacy of the 40th President of the United States.
Hosted by Newt and Callista Gingrich, this documentary tells the story
of the Reagan presidency and the three pillars that shaped his time in
office: reviving the American economy, restoring America's spirit, and
challenging the oppression of the Soviet Union.
Shot on location in Washington, DC, the Reagan Ranch, the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Library and Museum, France, Poland, and the Czech Republic,
this DVD features never-before-seen interviews with Michael Reagan,
former Reagan Administration officials, former presidents Vaclav Havel
of the Czech Republic and Lech Walesa of Poland, and many more.
This documentary traces the path of Reagan's remarkable life, from his
childhood in Tampico and Dixon, Illinois, through his career in
Hollywood and his time in the Governor's mansion in California, and onto
his 2 terms in the White House. Through this journey, we see how Reagan
formed his conservative principles and came to view America as a
"shining city on a hill."
This DVD explores how Reagan, "The Great Communicator," used his words
and vision to help restore our confidence in the nation and its future.
Through Reagan's leadership, America emerged from a recession with
then-unprecedented economic growth. At a time when US-Soviet relations
were thought to be unchangeable, that the Cold War would continue in
perpetuity, Reagan saw the Soviet system as "an evil empire" of
totalitarianism and a lack of basic freedoms. Reagan, virtually alone,
correctly predicted the Soviet Union would end up on "the ash heap of
history."
