Louisiana’s Huey Long built his remarkable career as governor and U.S. Senator on a platform of social reform and justice, all the while employing graft and corruption to get what he wanted.

Huey Long was the first documentary I ever made that focused on one person's life to animate an entire film. History, as the great essayist Thomas Carlyle once said, is in essence really biography.

Man of the People: The Trials of Huey Long tells the compelling story of Louisiana political icon Huey Long, tracing his journey from a humble salesman to a powerful figure in American politics.
