The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the PBS Film Series Rebels & Redcoats: American Crisis 1776. In the second installment, Washington is forced out of New York. His army begins to desert him, until a daring raid across a frozen river gives him victory at Trenton. But the British still seem to be masters in this war, capturing the great Fort Ticonderoga.

“With vivid dramatizations of battles, eyewitness accounts, original documents and paintings, Rebels & Redcoats tells the untold story of the American Revolution. Richard Holmes, a renowned British military historian, presents the series. He focuses on the military struggles, soldiers, leaders, and tactics of this great conflict. It is told from an unusual point of view, that of the British losers. Yet it also explores painful conflicts within the American people themselves.”

The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, July 26^th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2023. For a list of films, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at 843-915-5320 or e-mail hcgmuseum@horrycountysc.gov.
