A great film which every American should see!

I love this film! I play it every Fourth of July to help me remember the true meaning of that important holiday to our nation.

The fifteen-minute segment when the Founding Fathers are discussing WHY we need to write a declaration of independence is very dramatic and very moving. The debate between Adams and Dickinson is particular helpful in pinpointing the reasons that the colonists felt we needed to break away from England.

I appreciate the extensive research done on this film and the true-to-life feel of the costumes, props, and scenery. It makes me feel like I am actually there with the real larger-than-life personages from our nation's history. I especially love Benjamin Franklin!

Every American who values the freedoms we enjoy in this country should see this wonderful and delightful film.
