Details.
Wiki.
Hesburgh is a 2018 American documentary film directed by Patrick Creadon. The film follows the life of Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, President of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 through 1987, particularly during his time working on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The film is drawn from archival footage, as well as interviews with family, colleagues at Notre Dame, politicians, journalists, and historians. Maurice LaMarche provides the voice of Hesburgh, narrating the documentary with words drawn from Hesburgh's writings and tapes.
Hesburgh premiered at the 2018 AFI Docs film festival, and was widely distributed theatrically in 2019. The film received positive reviews from most critics, including those of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.
