THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a twelve-hour series on America's founding struggle directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, presents the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through.  By weaving together accounts of American political leaders and their British counter parts with the perspectives of the so-called ordinary people who waged and witnessed war. The American Revolution is an expansive, evenhanded look at the virtues and the contradictions in the fight for independence and the birth of the United States.
