Lewis & Clark:
The Journey Of The Corps Of Discovery
Sent
by President Thomas Jefferson to find the fabled Northwest Passage, Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark led the most courageous and important expedition
in U.S. history. This extraordinary film chronicles the story, not just
of the two captains, but of the young army men, French-Canadian boatmen,
Clark's African-American slave, and Sacajawea, the Shoshone woman who was
a key, lifesaving member of the group. Journey with them all, across a
breathtaking landscape in an experience that explores both the history
-- and the promise -- of America.
