The White House: The Dark Story Behind America’s Presidential Mansion (Documentary)

Описание: For over 200 years, The White House has stood as the most recognizable symbol of power in America — a presidential mansion admired around the world. But behind the clean white façade lies a story few Americans have ever been told.

This documentary uncovers the dark history, hidden labor, political bargains, and nearly forgotten tragedies behind America’s most iconic mansion. Before presidents lived inside it, before the nation saw it as a symbol of authority, the land beneath the White House was a swamp filled with mud, mosquitoes, and back-breaking labor carried out by free workers and enslaved men whose names were lost to history.

We explore the intense political negotiations, the architectural battles, the dangerous construction, and the infamous 1814 burning that nearly erased the mansion forever. From its muddy origins to its rebirth after fire, this is the full, unfiltered story of how the White House became the seat of American power.

If you care about American history, hidden truths, architecture, politics, or forgotten voices, this documentary will change the way you see the White House forever.
