SUMMARY:Ken Burns' The American Revolution Premiere - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION\, a new six-part\, 12-hour documentary series that explores the country’s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence\, will premiere on Sunday\, November 16 and air for six consecutive nights through Friday\, November 21st at 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on PBS. The full series will be available to stream beginning Sunday\, November 16 at PBS.org and on the PBS App.  \nThe much-anticipated series\, which has been in production for eight years\, was directed and produced by Ken Burns\, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt and written by long-time collaborator Geoffrey C. Ward. The filmmakers and PBS scheduled the broadcast for 2025\, the 250th anniversary of the start of the war\, which began in the spring of 1775\, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence.  \nTHE AMERICAN REVOLUTION examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. 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 centuries of democratic movements around the globe. An expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America\, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds.  \nViewers will experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and American militiamen (some of them teenagers)\, Patriot political and military leaders\, British Army officers\, American Loyalists\, Native soldiers and civilians\, enslaved and free African Americans\, German soldiers in the British service\, French and Spanish allies\, and various civilians living in North America\, Loyalist as well as Patriot\, including many made refugees by the war. The American Revolution was a war for independence\, a civil war\, and a world war. It impacted millions – from Canada to the Caribbean and beyond. Few escaped its violence. At one time or another\, the British Army occupied all the major population centers in the United States – including New York City for more than seven years.
