FRITZ is a documentary about the life and legacy of former Vice President Walter “Fritz” Mondale and his efforts to encourage a new generation to consider a life of public service. Interviews with Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Geraldine Ferraro, Arne Carlson, colleagues, friends, students and the Mondale family reveal a man who believes that politics and public service can build bridges rather than barriers. This film features never-before-seen family home videos, rare archival footage and recently declassified papers from Mr. Mondale’s years in the White House. FRITZ is narrated by Eleanor Mondale and directed by award-winning filmmaker Melody Gilbert (Urban Explorers, A Life Without Pain, Whole) and is a co-production of Frozen Feet Films and Darn Good Documentaries.
