Movie Review


Mount Rushmore. Prod. by Mark Zwonitzer. Hidden Hill Productions, 2002. 60 mins. (PBS Video, 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314-1698; 1-800-344-3337; <shop@pbs.org>; <http://shop.pbs.org/education> [Sept. 23, 2002])

Great works of art often overshadow the artist or his supporters. The likenesses of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln carved in the southeast face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota are nationally, if not internationally, renowned. How those faces got there is not often known to the general public. The purpose of this film is to examine the role of the individuals who made possible the sculptures on Mount Rushmore. 1
