Join WHYY for a preview screening of Ken Burns' upcoming documentary series, The American Revolution, followed by an exclusive interview by Terry Gross, co-host of WHYY's "Fresh Air with Terry Gross and Tonya Mosley"
As part of the nation's semiquincentennial commemoration, this event highlights Greater Philadelphia region's pivotal role in the founding of the United States.
The American Revolution - a new documentary series by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt - tells the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation. Through moments of triumph and hardship, it explores the profound crises they endured and the ideals they pursued.
By weaving together the voices of America's political leaders, their British counterparts, and the perspectives of ordinary people who lived through the conflict, the documentary offers an expansive and balanced look at both the promise and the paradoxes of the fight for independence and the birth of a new nation.
We look forward to seeing you at The American Revolution: An Evening with Ken Burns!
