Why Washington Tried to BURY "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"

In 1939, Frank Capra released a film so bold that Washington wanted it buried. "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"—starring James Stewart and Jean Arthur—was meant as a “love letter to democracy.” Instead, it was denounced by senators, condemned by FDR’s aides, and nearly suppressed by Hollywood itself. Banned in Germany but cherished by the French Resistance, it became one of the most powerful portraits of American idealism ever made.

This video reveals the untold story behind "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington": the political backlash, the media outrage, the real-life attempts to destroy the film, and how it ultimately became a timeless symbol of courage, conscience, and democracy in action.
