About The American Revolution
Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired democratic movements around the globe.
The film follows dozens of figures from a variety of backgrounds. Through their individual stories, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it.
The Revolution declared American independence with promises that we continue to strive for, opened the door to advance civil liberties and human rights, and asked questions that we are still trying to answer today.
