On Tuesday, March 1, at 7 PM, the National Archives will premiere the 52-minute PBS American Experience documentary film The Great Famine. This program is free and open to the public, and will take place in the William G. McGowan Theater of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, located on the National Mall at Constitution Ave. and 7th Street, NW.

The film is based on the book The Big Show in Bololand by Berntrand Patenaude.

We laughed at family stories and the discussed the duties each generation takes on when born into a presidential family.
