AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: PATRIOTS DAY
Premiering on PBS Monday, April 19, 2004 at 9pm ET (check local listings)
PATRIOTS DAY, a one-hour reality-style documentary, follows Revolutionary War reenactors as they prepare for and engage in the annual Patriots Day reenactments in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.
What do reenactors do to prepare for their roles? How do they juggle 18th-century activities with 21st-century lives? From now until broadcast, read regularly-updated diary entries from Wayne McCarthy, a teacher and the captain of the Lexington Minute Men, and Paul O'Shaughnessy, an electrical engineer and the commanding officer of His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot.

Sounds like it is worth checking out. Thanks for the heads-up.

I had the pleasure of attending - as a spectator - the reenactments of Lexington Green, Concord Bridge, and Battle Road two years in succession back in the late 80s/early 90s.
Gut-wrenchingly spectacular!! Especially Lexington ... I think I did a write up somewhere on the old Board years ago, so I won't repeat myself. Suffice it to say, if you are in the Boston area, attend!! Or, make plans TO BE in the Boston area. If it doesn't choke you up, you are not alive! |
