Watch To Begin the World Over Again: the Life of Thomas Paine

This is the story of one of the most extraordinary men in history, who ignited the American Revolution, defined the French and championed the use of Reason, all with his pen. He was one of the world's greatest political writers and worst politicians, a very nearly deadly combination more than once. Ian Ruskin is Paine, Elliott Gould voices the narration and the legendary Haskell Wexler shot it.
