Revolutionary America tells the story of the American Founding, the greatest political achievement in history. The American colonists had developed a unique way of life as they practiced self-government for 150 years. In the struggles between the colonies and the mother country that followed the French and Indian War, Britain declared that Americans had no right to rule themselves. This went against everything the Americans knew. In response, our ancestors risked their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" to fight the War for Independence. Against all odds, they won, and in victory formed a stable, lasting republic. This documentary, produced by Hillsdale Studios, narrated by Tom Selleck, and featuring interviews with prominent scholars and commentators, will help you see the Revolution through the eyes of the Americans who lived through it. With expert commentary, historical documents, compelling cinematography, and beautiful music, experience the Revolution like never before!

An American 1d I love our history! It should be taught within every school in America. I learned most of it that way. Our history can never be erased or changed so why has it not been taught for years?? You learn from the past and build upon it to make things better for every American citizen, not just a few. Political parties should stay out of our educational facilities from pre-school to PhDs. See more Moana M 2d Very well informed movie. Great story line about the truth of the beginning of America See more Elizabeth 2d We need more movies like this in theatres. My 10 yo son was the only child there. He thoroughly enjoyed being educated! See more Emily 2d Important for every American to see! It is vital for those staying and living in our country. I believe every school in our great nation should show this movie to its students. It is such a blessing, full of truth, and rich history. See more Gerard 2d Great documentary.
