The American Revolution Sneak Preview Screening

NMPBS invites you to a special 45-minute Sneak Preview of the new six-part film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt.

The documentary examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. An expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiencing the war through the memories of the men and women who lived it.

Afterwards, there will be a spirited one on one conversation between Emmy Award-winning writer/producer (and Santa Fe resident) Kirk Ellis and renowned Historian Thomas E. Chávez, author and expert on the American Revolution.
