Product Description:
One of the most controversial men of his age Alexander Hamilton was a gifted statesman brought down by the fatal flaws of stubbornness extreme candor and arrogance. His life and career were marked by a stunning rise to power scandal and tragedy. He had one of the most notorious love affairs of any public figure in American history and met his death in a startling act of political violence the famous duel with Aaron Burr. But his contributions as a statesman survive. As first Secretary of the Treasury during the tumultuous early years of the republic Hamilton led the transformation of the young country into a commercial and industrial powerhouse. He was the one founder who had a vision not of what America was but of what it could become. This two-hour AMERICAN EXPERIENCE tells the story of the underappreciated genius who laid the groundwork for the nation s modern economy including the banking system Wall Street and an opportunity society in which talent and hard work not birth determined success.System Requirements:Running Time: 120 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

After watching this PBS documentary, I am very much inclined to highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about the Founding Fathers. Much has been said through the ages about Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, but there has been a serious neglect of Hamilton. This program goes a fair distance to help make up for the imbalance. Hamilton's pride, stubborn steak, adultery, and partisanship are all dealt with, but his genius in pulling the nation out of Revolutionary War debt, establishing ... Read More

Marc Soloman, portraying Mr. Hamilton in short takes herein, does a great job conveying emotion as he speaks directly in the camera to us in this rather well-done PBS production probing the character of a hero of the American Revolution and architect of America's financial system.
The camera, in one particular take, while showing the room behind him too, draws in on a facial expression of Mr. Soloman that just beams with the self-confidence and insecurities of a self-made man. For a ... Read More

This documentary covers Alexander Hamilton's birth, death, and highlights. About a decade ago, a biography of President Adams was on the bestsellers list the whole summer. I can imagine patriots and history fanatics loving this work equally.

Alexander Hamilton is one of the founding fathers of the United States. This film goes through his life, from childhood to death. The pace is gentle and vivid. It's pretty enjoyable to watch.
I, however, have to say this film is kind of scratching the skin. For example, as Secretary of the Treasury, his policies have enormous impacts on the whole country, from the Louisiana Purchase to NYSE. Unfortunately, you can't sense this in the film, even this part is complemented in the Special ... Read More

PBS has assembled absolutely some of Broadway's most talented stage actors today to recreate, based upon the diaries and writings of the time, an intensely engaging and extremely informative look at arguably one of the most important and influential founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton is studied and dissected from his most ignoble birth as an illegitimate from the West Indies to his rise to fame as leader pro-temp of the American Revolution and his ultimate death in a duel. ... Read More
