Event Details
Historian Rick Atkinson joins filmmaker Ken Burns to examine the opposing figures at the center of the American Revolution: King George III and George Washington. Blending narrative history and documentary storytelling, they explore how imperial authority, colonial resistance, and contrasting leadership shaped the conflict’s course—and how the Revolution’s ideals and contradictions continue to echo today.
