Why does America have a two-party system? What roles have third parties played in American elections and American life? Could a third party again become an important political force? This award-winning PBS documentary examines America's experience with third parties and independent candidates - from the birth of the two-party system in Jefferson' times to the rise of Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party to Ross Perot's efforts in the 1990s. Featuring insights from leading historians, a rich collection of campaign memorabilia, rare archival footage, artwork, political cartoons and campaign songs, it's a colorful look at the history of third parties - and how they changed America.
