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 With expert commentary, historical documents, compelling cinematography, and beautiful music, experience the Revolution like never before!

Cuban James 3h Great movie brings me back to my childhood days of learning about the American history needs to be taught to our children and next generation. See more Alexander 5h Great historical story. Stay away from political Zionism. Antisemitism is definitely not acceptable. Acts chapter 7 and the martyred apostles gave all in following Jesus Christ. There are many in these roles of government in the Middle East deceiving Americans. They reject Jesus Christ as Lord. Our country was founded on faith in Jesus Christ. Stand for truth See more Catherine and Jan 5h My daughter and I both enjoyed everything about this movie. From the gentlemen who have is the inside glimpses to the young men standing next to George Washington. It was a great experience. See more Ci 8h Very well done a good mix between entertainment/drama and historical information. Well presented. See more Joseph Pauldine 8h It was good to hear from various college professors and other historians. I liked the visuals of the geography and the players which helped me to understand history better. See more John D 10h The documentary was wonderful! It should remind everyone that we are blest to live in our country for many of our freedoms are NOT present in other countries. See more Read all reviews
