Ronald Reagan did not come from power, privilege, or political dynasty. And the movie that tells his story did not come easily either. Filmmaker and author Mark Joseph joins Elizabeth Farah to reveal the 19-year battle to bring Reagan to the screen, and why Hollywood resisted telling the story of a president who reshaped America and helped bring down the Soviet empire.
Mark explains why Reagan is not a political film, but a human one, a story about destiny, failure, perseverance, and purpose discovered late in life. Drawing on more than 15 years of research and interviews with over 50 Reagan aides, he dismantles the caricature of Reagan as a shallow figurehead and exposes the truth: Reagan's so-called "dark side" was not cruelty or corruption, but rejection, near-failure, and relentless preparation.
