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 With expert commentary, historical documents, compelling cinematography, and beautiful music, experience the Revolution like never before!

Arlene 5d Good cinematography, easy to watch. Narration good, clear, understandable. See more Barbara Jun 11 Learned some facts about history I did not know See more Nicholas Jun 11 This was better than any Civics class it showed & told of all the struggles that the founders faced to bring this country into being. & what it will take - quite lacking today - to keep it. See more Susan P Jun 11 We brought our nine-year-old granddaughter to it and she noticed that she was one of the few children in there, but she thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot and wants to see another movie like this! We agree! See more Janney Lou Jun 9 The movie /documentary was extremely well-made! I have studied and taught US history and the facts were correct plus I learned some things I hadn't known. You can count on Angel Studios to do their research. You can count on Angel Studios to produce clean and accurate movies especially those based on true events. More Americans would benefit by learning more about our country, why it was founded, how it was founded and determine the reasons why God was involved so heavily. Our children and many younger parents were not taught the history and principals on which America was foundded See more Waldon Jun 8 Superb documentary about the American Revolution.
