I’d really like to know more about John Brown, but I just can’t get through biographical books, for anyone. Any good documentaries on the man, the myth, the legend?

    I love John Brown but will shamefully admit some of it comes from a vestigial West Wing brain compartment that reads all his letters and speeches and feels intoxicated by the illusion of them powerfully moving people to change. I’ll still enjoy them as a treat but I’m trying to kill my inner Aaron Sorkin.
