Eleanor Roosevelt: Close to Home is an overview of the inspirational life of Eleanor Roosevelt and highlights her dedication as champion of social justice and racial equality. The film, which won the United Nations Association Film Festival Award in 2013, introduces viewers to Val-Kill, the home of this extraordinary American who became a world leader in human rights and creator of the UDHR.
