Summary 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
