1776 is a week by week narrative of the most iconic year of America’s founding. This short-form historical series reexamines the American Revolution at a time when the idea of independence was far from inevitable.
Through pivotal figures and intimate moments, each short unfolds within the uncertainty of the moment, reframing the Revolution not as a foregone conclusion, but as a struggle shaped by the endurance of those willing to fight for what they imagined.
