The 2026 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series starts off with the first installment of the PBS Film Series Rebels & Redcoats: The Shot Heard Round the World.
“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 2026 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the PBS Film Series Rebels & Redcoats: The War Moves South.

They win a series of victories against American and French forces, and find a new army of recruits amongst former slaves. Thousands of African Americans join the British in the expectation of freedom. The war in the south is an often untold story of a savage war of partisans, border raids and guerilla style skirmishing.
