SUMMARY:An Exclusive Advance Screening of The American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable evening: an exclusive advance screening of The American Revolution\, the highly anticipated new PBS documentary series from Ken Burns\, Sarah Botstein\, and David Schmidt. \nTimed to the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War\, this six-part series brings America’s fight for independence to life through the diverse voices of those who experienced it — soldiers and civilians\, enslaved and free African Americans\, Native peoples\, Loyalists\, and Patriots — offering a vivid\, multi-layered portrait of our nation’s founding. \nSeveral segments were filmed right here at Washington Crossing Historic Park\, underscoring its unique role as a living classroom for the American Revolution. This special event celebrates that connection and offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the filmmakers and interpreters whose work keeps this history vibrant. \nThis program is presented by Friends of Washington Crossing Park in partnership with the Princeton Battlefield Society as part of the Princeton Battlefield Society’s Cadwalader Lecture Series. \nWhat to Expect\n\n\n\nGuests will enjoy a 45-minute curated clip reel from The American Revolution introduced by Director\, Sarah Botstein\, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Jennifer Martin\, Executive Director of Friends of Washington Crossing Park.\nTogether the panelists will explore how reenactors serve as storytellers who bring history to life and how documentary filmmakers\, living-history interpreters\, and reenactors collaborate to fill in the gaps left by the limited material culture of the 18th century.\nThe evening concludes with an open audience Q&A session for a chance to engage directly with the panelists.\n\n\n\nMeet the Panelists\nSarah Botstein – Director & Producer\nSarah Botstein is one of the leading documentary producers of her generation\, responsible for some of the most acclaimed and widely viewed public television programs of the past two decades.
