Coolidge: Rediscovering An American President

The year 1923 brought one of the most unusual presidential inaugurations in American history. Vice President Calvin Coolidge was asleep at his childhood home in rural Vermont when the news came in: President Warren Harding was dead.

A century later, Coolidge stands as perhaps America’s most misunderstood and unjustly neglected president. A landmark new documentary film changes that

Directed by Paul G. Sanderson III, Coolidge: Rediscovering An American President leans on a strong ensemble — Kristi Noem, Calvin Coolidge, Janice Rogers Brown — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
