What does 1984, 2004, and 2024 all have in common? They were all election years, yes, but one common thread binds them all. They were revolutionary years of real outsiders and mavericks. What is fascinating about this is that in each of these years, we remembered and reflected on the resolve, leadership, and tenacity of the 40th president of the United States; Ronald Wilson Reagan.
In 1984, Ronald Reagan won the biggest landslide in history, carrying 49 states in an exceedingly bold and decisive win. In 2004, Ronald Reagan passed away, which caused people to reflect on his legacy in an election year. Ronald Reagan’s legacy in turn inspired the making of an incredible documentary film, which is the primary subject of this article, and yet in 2024, a blockbuster biography film, Reagan would be released and in an election year, causing Americans to reflect on Reagan’s legacy in a big way once again.
2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the 2004 documentary film, and if you have seen the 2024 movie Reagan, it supplements that movie in a terrific way. If you have not seen the 2024 biopic as of yet, that’s okay as well. It is a remarkable, stand-alone film that shows the power of perseverance, faith, and resolve.

Great Documentary. It was produced by Steve Bannon.
thanks for the post. took a while to get through this. almost two hours, but well worth watching. (took a while to live through it, too.) nice to be reminded of a good man, who became a great man:
He won, we won, and through him, God won. Amen.
