"Oh say, can you see...? In the 200 years since Francis Scott Key first wrote those works on the back of a letter they have inspired millions. The hope and joy expressed in the American National Anthem are so moving that more than five million people signed petitions for its official adoption. Yet within those words is an expression of a Christian faith and gratitude for deliverance. Told through the words of eyewitnesses and those who know him best, this hour-long presentation tells the story not only of the song, but of the man and the beliefs that inspired it."--Container.
