Democracy in America is a well-produced dramatization of Alexis de Tocqueville's book of the same name, following the travels of Tocqueville and his companion, Gustave de Beaumont, as they explore America in the 1830s. The engaging series combines music, sound effects, and impressive acting to bring the historical story to life, with Tocqueville being played by Barry Morse and Beaumont by Alan King. Additionally, the educational show incorporates discussions on various topics relating to the series, hosted by historian Dorothy Gordon and featuring students from New York University.</p><p>The show originally aired on NBC and CBC in January of 1962, with a total of fourteen 30-minute episodes. Democracy in America was produced by Andrew Allan and directed by historian George Probst in conjunction with the Division of General Education of New York University and the Fund for Adult Education. The collection also includes two preview programs that aired immediately before the series, which delved deeper into the topics and themes presented in Tocqueville's book.
