In Fall 2025, PBS will premiere THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a six-part film from Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt. The film will present the story of the men and women who waged and witnessed a war that changed the world. Weaving together a wide variety of perspectives from soldiers, civilians, and leaders — famous and forgotten, young and old, native and newcomer, enslaved and free, rich and poor, loyalist and patriot — THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION will tell how, against the odds, thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast united in rebellion, won their independence, and established an American republic that still endures.
