The relationship between Sally and Thomas Jefferson is but speculation- a rumor, a
possibility. ...
The film opens with Jefferson immersed in the use of his printing machine, demonstrating
his great existent love for invention and his skilled ingenuity. ...
Early in the film we are also introduced to the possible descendants of Thomas Jefferson
through his miscegenation with Sally Hemmings. ... Through them we learn of
Jefferson’s sad state of financial affairs before his death. ...
Jefferson’s differences between his professed beliefs and actions are also explored. ...
However he continues to own slaves, though he does provide them pay in Paris. ... Patsy chooses to stay a part of the
convent, but Jefferson denies her this and withdraws her from the church. ... This is an assumption of the filmmakers as there would be no reason for her emotion
and mistreatment towards Sally if Sally was not active with Jefferson.
Jefferson’s personality is represented in both factual and fictional aspects. ...
However the social nature of Jefferson we are presented is in contrast to the shy nature he
actually possessed. ... Shortly
after arriving in Paris, Jefferson purchased nearly 300 bottles of wine and hired a French cook. ... This in turn
wouldn’t have led Jefferson to have to deal with the conflict of Mrs. ...
Evidence to support Hemming’s family claims includes the long orative history that they
profess is truth, the fact the Jefferson was present in Sally’s mist at every conception, and the
accounts of visitors who were floored to see the spitting images of Jefferson in his servicing slaves
during dinners and such other gatherings.
