Revolution in Boston
Program Note: The documentary I have been working on for much of the last year, SAVE OUR HISTORY: REVOLUTION IN BOSTON, will air on The History Channel on Saturday September 22 at 8 PM ET/PT.
Here's the description from The History Channel's press release:
It was on the streets of Boston that colonial patriots first stirred the fires of independence and abolitionists in the nineteenth century called for an end to slavery. These transforming movements can be traced back to two historic places: The Old State House and The African Meeting House. SAVE OUR HISTORY: REVOLUTION IN BOSTON explores the history behind these two notable buildings as they undergo major preservation efforts.
The show includes some very cool re-enactment sequences, as well as some wonderful animations done by Sputnik up in Portland Maine.Just for fun, here are three frames from an animation they worked really hard on that depicts the Old State House through the years from 1775 to today, with the buildings around undergoing tremendous changes.
More on this program as the date gets closer.
