"The Good Lord Bird", Barack Obama's current favorite series

Adapted from the novel

L'Oiseau du Bon Die

u by James McBride, winner of the National Book Award in 2013, the miniseries The Good Lord Bird, available on MyCanal, was created and produced by Mark Richard and Ethan Hawke.

The latter plays John Brown, viscerally opposed to slavery, who called for an armed insurrection to abolish it.

After a bloody campaign in Kansas, he was captured and hanged in Virginia in 1859, two years before the Civil War broke out.

Through this particular destiny,

The Good Lord Bird

delves into the sources of the current fractures of American society, and poses the question of the use of violence to achieve a noble goal.

Barack Obama, who made her one of his favorite productions of the moment, was not mistaken.

documentary available on Arte.tv.

Through his work and his career, it is the incredible changes of the last seventy years that this documentary traces: from the end of the aristocratic world before the war to the emergence of the middle class, from the birth of culture rock at the beginning of the space conquest, from the first traces of globalization to the fall of the communist bloc.
