Summary: 4 Stars
If you have ever been to The White House this will take you down memory lane. However what you didn't see in the tours you will get to see here. This takes you from the beginning of The White House to the Clinton Administration. It will take you where no other tours will take you in the history, Presidential Protection and the personal life of our President. So sit back and enjoy history at it's finest.DVD Review: Buy it...........

DVD Review: Interesting & Informative
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice addition to my high school government class. It is one of the better documentaries I've seen on the White House. I recommend it for anyone interested in our Presidential home.DVD Review: Very interesting look into the most famous house in America
Summary: 4 Stars
I have recently become very interested in American history and have been buying up every dvd that looks cool regarding our great nation. I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting and captivating this video is. It not only shows the ins and outs of the white house but also touches on some of our history. I found myself grabbing my laptop and everytime something peaked my interest I was googling how the white house was destroyed by fire when captured by the british in 1814. I am looking forward to the day that I can sit down and watch it again with my children. Met and exceeded my expectations. Morgan freeman was good as well (narration). Peace and chicken grease!
Description of National Geographic's Inside the White House
Step inside the imposing gates of the White House for a revealing visit to the most famous, yet mysterious building in America. Discover the human side of this legendary house in candid interviews with Presidents and First Ladies, and peek inside the families' rarely-seen private living quarters. Follow along as a small army of employees whirls behind the scenes in a frenzy of activity surrounding a major state dinner.Americans may think they know plenty about the White House--and in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, perhaps many feel they know more than they want to--but the National Geographic video Inside the White House will make you forget such sordid details. The history of the most famous house in the United States is a fascinating one, and this video seamlessly blends aspects of that monumental past with present-day behind-the-scenes access. The filmmakers were allowed to shoot preparations for a state dinner hosted by President and Mrs. Clinton for Boris and Mrs. Yeltsin--from the setting of 1,500 pieces of White House china to the intricate choreographing of the meal service, as well as security checks and final briefings for the President. Intercut with these scenes are segments discussing the White House's history, architecture, and high-profile residents, as well as anecdotes from all surviving former residents. Particularly moving are interviews with staff members, including the longtime White House butler who overheard Winston Churchill, deep in his cups, pacing the halls and rehearsing the speech that would include the phrase "the Iron Curtain" for the first time. Narration by Morgan Freeman and an uplifting score by Mark Adler add to the impressive polish of the documentary. --Anne Hurley
