THE SPIRIT OF ’76

DVD Final Edition

The Spirit of ’76 DVD Special Edition offers the real story of the writing and ratification of the Constitution in the new including the world’s first portrayal of the most important yet untold piece of the story: the Virginia Ratification Convention and the patriot Patrick Henry, who made famous the phrase, “Give me liberty, or give me death.” But you won’t just hear the historic debates that shaped our country – you will see it as well. View larger images here and here.

“The Spirit of ’76” transports you back in time to Independence Hall and see it with Emmy-award winning actor Jay Thomas and an ensemble cast of some of radio’s best-known voices. “I was always extremely proud of what I achieved with ‘The Road to Independence’ and “Fame Of The Fathers,’” Church noted. “But it was time to take things to the next level with ‘The Spirit of ’76, this is historic cinema!.”

Mike directed the entire project and Dr. Kevin Gutzman of “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution” served as historical consultant so accuracy is assured.

Our story begins in the office of Richmond Enquirer newspaper publisher Thomas Ritchie and the next 2:45 minutes transports the listener to Independence Hall, Washington DC, the Graff House where Jefferson wrote the Declaration, New York City and Richmond’s New Academy of Arts & Science on Shockoe Hill.
