Jefferson in Paris

Director: James Ivory James Ivory

Overview

This historical drama takes place during future American president Thomas Jefferson's term as an ambassador in Paris, in the years preceding the French Revolution. Much attention is paid to Jefferson's private life, particularly his affair with young slave Sally Hemmings (a detail felt by many critics to be historically inaccurate).
