For over two centuries, the American Revolution has been told through textbooks, statues, and secondhand accounts. But what if we could hear directly from the people who lived it? The Founders is a cinematic historical documentary that brings the architects of American independence back to life through groundbreaking dramatic storytelling. Using historically accurate writings, letters, and speeches, the series recreates intimate interviews with figures like John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin—allowing them to reflect on the events that shaped a nation.

These are not distant historical figures. They are human beings remembering the most dangerous decisions of their lives. Through cinematic reenactments, large-scale historical environments, and deeply personal interviews, The Founders reveals the Revolution not as a legend…but as a series of uncertain, courageous choices made by imperfect men.

Historical Interviews

Using the latest innovative cinematic technology, the series recreates the Founders speaking in their own words, drawn directly from historical letters, journals, and records. For the first time, audiences can experience the Revolution through conversations with the people who actually shaped it. The entire movie is built from real historical documents and firsthand accounts. The words, motivations, and conflicts portrayed are drawn directly from the writings of the Founders themselves.

Cinematic Historical Drama

Combining documentary interviews with dramatic historical recreations, The Founders presents the American Revolution with the scale and visual richness of a feature film. This is history told as a living story.
