The new documentary, "Hesburgh," explores the life of Father Theodore Hesburgh, who served as a long-time president of the University of Notre Dame and is recognized now as one of the most important civic and educational leaders of the 20th century. Through his priesthood and role as a presidential advisor on civil rights, NewsHour Weekend's Christopher Booker traces Hesburgh’s steps with the film's director.
