Doc Days of Summer: Presenting encores of the summer's best documentaries.
Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris (The
Fog of War) offers a mesmerizing portrait of Donald
Rumsfeld, the larger-than-life figure who served
as George W. Bush’s secretary of defense and as the
principal architect of the Iraq War. Rather than
conducting a conventional interview, Morris has Rumsfeld
perform and explain his "snowflakes"—the enormous
archive of memos he wrote across almost fifty years
in Congress, the White House, in business, and at the
Pentagon. The memos provide a window into history
—not as it actually happened, but as Rumsfeld wants
us to see it. Morris takes us where few have ever been—beyond the web of words into the unfamiliar terrain of
Rumsfeld’s mind. The Unknown Known presents history
from the inside out; showing how the ideas, fears,
and certainties of one man transformed America and
changed the course of history.
