As America's most famous and followed evangelist, Billy Graham preaches and millions listen. The program focuses on the pivotal events in Graham's life, including William Randolph Hearst's decision to publicize Graham's crusades, Graham's close ties with several Presidents, and his refusal to speak out against the Vietnam War or to participate in Civil Rights demonstrations. Interviews with friends, family, and figures such as Henry Ford and George Bush Sr. further illuminate Graham's life and trace his development from childhood to the peak of his spiritual empire.
