Critical Acclaim for the Spirit of 76!
Mike Church’s Spirit of ’76 captures one of the great developments in world history — the drafting and ratification of the US Constitution — in all its drama. Old or young, expert or not, every viewer will find something to admire and something to learn in this solidly written, well acted film. Come one, come all!

Dr. Kevin Gutzman, Author of “Who Killed the Constitution”

“An exciting and much needed ride through the writing of the Constitution… unlike any film I have ever seen. Mike Church honors our history without trying to re-write it.”
Debbie Schlussel, Syndicated Radio Film Critic
As the story goes, it was 101 degrees in 1787 Philadelphia yet our Founding Fathers endured. With the energy and wisdom of James Madison, they wrote the Constitution. Madison and Alexander Hamilton then wrote The Federalist Papers , which won over the hearts and minds of most Americans, and the Constitution was quickly ratified to the delight of millions. Sounds like a nice story and it would make a great movie, but there s one problem… It isn t true.
