“As we approach the 250th anniversary of American Independence, ‘Revolutionary America’ will help Americans to understand the purpose of the Revolution and the nature of the conflict,” said Jeremiah Regan, executive producer of Revolutionary America and executive director of Online Learning at Hillsdale College. “Our Founding, which was possible due to the wisdom, faith, and courage of our forefathers, is the most remarkable political achievement in history.”

The documentary features insights from Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn; Hillsdale faculty members John Grant, Wilfred McClay, Paul Moreno, Kevin Slack, and Thomas West; and select public thought leaders, including Michael J. Knowles, John Lovell and Eric Metaxas, along with primary source accounts, a compelling original score, evocative artwork, and dynamic visual effects. “Revolutionary America” will help audiences see the Revolution through the eyes of the Americans who lived it.

“American history is remarkable and deserves careful study, which repays the student with appreciation and enjoyment,” Regan said. “We made this film with great care so that it is both accurate and entertaining, with the goal of providing a delightful, inspiring, and educational experience to the audience.”
