What begins as a political clash between colonists and the British government grows into a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION is a six-part\, 12-hour documentary series that explores the country’s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence. The film is directed by Ken Burns\, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt and written by Geoffrey Ward. \nEpisode One (Sunday\, November 16)\nIn Order to Be Free (May 1754 – May 1775)\nAmerican colonists oppose efforts by the British Crown and Parliament to seize greater control in North America\, escalating simmering tensions over land\, taxes\, and sovereignty into violent confrontation. After protestors dump tea in Boston Harbor\, the British government enacts martial law in Massachusetts. Fighting at Lexington and Concord ignites a war that will last eight years. \nPaintings on Display!\nThroughout the week\, guests can explore Historic Beverly’s rotating art exhibition at The Cabot\, featuring original works that bring America’s revolutionary story to life. Drawn from Historic Beverly’s extraordinary collection of 44 paintings commissioned by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge\, 28 are featured in Ken Burns’ The American Revolution and can be viewed at Historic Beverly’s Cabot House. The remaining works\, on view during the film screening\, though not included in the film\, powerfully illuminate the depth and drama of our nation’s founding struggle.
