I think at the end of the day, the American Revolution is actuall a deeply patriotic story about.

It's actually it's a very unlikely story.

So in 1775, 1776, the colonists in Boston had no idea what the world was going to look like nearly a decade later, I think in this moment where we feel divided and things feel complicated, and we don't talk to our neighbor about politics.

I think thinking, for me at least, in working on the film to go back and understand how divided and different opinions different people had, including the founders, and how they, over the course of a decade, came together to create thi extremely interesting, important and new kind of nation that we all have a great stake in and a lot to fight for.

And also, I think, importan for us to think about the men, the women, the children who sacrificed themselves.

This was a bloody, difficult, awful 18th century war.

And a lot of people sacrifice themselves.

Lost loved ones, families were divided.

And we need to hono that sacrifice and make good on what they thought they could do and what we have done.

I think well and not well over 250 years.
