It impacted millions from Vermont's Green Mountains to the swamps of South Carolina, from Indian Country to the Iberian Peninsula. In defeating the British Empire and giving birth to a new nation, the American Revolution turned the world upside-down. Thirteen colonies on the Atlantic Coast united in rebellion, won their independence, and established a republic that still endures.The American Revolution, our six-part, twelve-hour series on America's founding struggle, will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through. By weaving together accounts of American political leaders and their British counterparts with the perspectives of the so-called ordinary people who waged and witnessed war, The American Revolution will be an expansive, evenhanded look at the virtues and the contradictions in the fight for independence and the birth of the United States.E.Described video for the blind and visually impairedClosed-captioned for the hearing impairedSubtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).DVD ; wide screen presentation ; 5.1 surround sound, 2.0 stereophonic.- Subjects: Video recordings for people with visual disabilities.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Nonfiction television programs.; Documentary television programs.; Historical television programs.; War television programs.; Television mini-series.; George III, King of Great Britain, 1738-1820.; Cornwallis, Charles Cornwallis, Marquis, 1738-1805.; Dawes, William, 1745-1799.; Franklin, Benjamin, 1706-1790.; Jefferson, Thomas, 1743-1826.; Jones, John Paul, 1747-1792.; Revere, Paul, 1735-1818.; Washington, George, 1732-1799.; United States.

- We did ok, kid [sound recording] : a memoir / by Hopkins, Anthony,1937-author,narrator.; Branagh, Kenneth,narrator.; Simon & Schuster Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by the author and Kenneth Branagh.Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir. Born and raised in Port Talbot -- a small Welsh steelworks town -- amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favour of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted. With candour and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher's apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear. Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life -- the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt -- much like the men in his family -- and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret. Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.- Subjects: Biographies.; Audiobooks.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Hopkins, Anthony, 1937-; Actors; Motion picture actors and actresses; Leading men (Actors);
