‘EISENHOWER: THIS PIECE OF GROUND' will win you over....a beautiful
portrait of a man who explains not only what it was like to be the leader
of the free world, but also what it meant to be an upright, decent human
being who did the best he could to make right choices. Hellesen’s script
not only gives us a lens into the Presidency, but it gives us hope for our
current democracy.” — Ryan Leeds, Manhattan Digest
