“Theodore Roosevelt” (History — miniseries premiere, May 30)
Actor Leonardo Dicaprio and celebrated historian Doris Kearns Goodwin are among the executive producers of this new five-hour docuseries that concludes on Tuesday. The fourth in a series of History Channel presidential portraits — preceded by “Washington,” “Abraham Lincoln” and “Grant” — this new presentation focuses on the man regarded by many as the first “modern” president. Theodore Roosevelt was justly celebrated as a champion of social justice, a passionate conservationist and a self-proclaimed “bull moose” who once delivered an 84-minute speech while bleeding from
a failed assassination attempt.
