I agree completely with other reviews that this film seems to want to take Ben Franklin down as much as build him up. Completely unneccesary and not like the typical Ken Burns film prior to the new agenda. Most of the personal attacks come from Erica Dunbar making outragious claims woman and people of color could have done what he did if given the chance? The entire movie is about one man in the entire world who did more incredible things than anyone in many facets. Not to mention what makes her think they would want to do or commit themselves to all the things he spent time doing. Its like saying woman would make the best car mechanics if given the chance? Look around,mot many are interested in that career. Ken needs to go back to the facts providing history to America for generations and not opinions or recent trends of tearing down everyone. It won't age well like the older stuff before his work was influenced. No one was perfect. Not even this biography.
