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 Four (Wednesday\, November 19)\nConquer by a Drawn Game (January 1777 – February 1778)\nAs America braces for a third year of devastating war\, British commanders launch campaigns to take Albany and Philadelphia. General Howe beats General Washington at Brandywine and Germantown\, while the Continental Congress flees Philadelphia. But the Americans’ surprising victory over General Burgoyne at Saratoga opens the door for France to officially support the United States. \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.
