Tennessee Johnson
From poverty to a president. A great American story!
The tumultuous presidency of 19th-president Andrew Johnson is chronicled in this biopic. The story begins with Johnson's boyhood and covers his early life.

After Lincoln's assassination, Johnson becomes the President and became the first U.S. president ever to be impeached.
