"They stood for Liberty, and fought against Tyranny!"
It is the morning of June 17, 1775. The previous night, under the cover of darkness, the Colonial Patriots had quickly constructed an impromptu fortification on Breed's Hill, and now await a full assault by the King's Soldiers - the best equipped and most feared fighting force in the world. These Patriots have little ammunition or water, but on this hot, summer's morning, they will stand as one against the British Infantry...relying on something which they have in abundance: courage. And by the end of the day, the world would know whether this ragged band of farmers, merchants and militia-men would be able to bring a new nation into being.
THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL is the story of the first major conflict of the American Revolution, and how two fathers and two sons left their farms, and joined the battle to defend the heights overlooking Boston Harbor. Through an innovative blending of epic recreation, historical commentary and vintage imagery, you will learn about life during that time, as well as the reasons why our Forefathers chose to rebel against the mighty British Empire and forge a new nation, conceived in liberty and freedom.
