Learn more about The American Revolution, a new six-part, 12-hour documentary directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt. The series 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 of America, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds.

The series will premiere on Sunday, November 16 and air for six consecutive nights through Friday, November 21 at 8-10p.m. Tune in tomorrow night for a first look at the series exploring this pivotal moment in American history.
