Great DVD
I purchased my copy of "Sons of Liberty" and have enjoyed watching it more than once. Great mini series from the History Channel. A must see!

The Sons of Liberty
Very well made film! Gives the viewer a real perspective of what the colonial people and founding fathers had to go through and gives you a real sense of American Pride!!!!

So much more entertaining than documentary
I really enjoyed this series, and that is coming from someone who was not a huge fan of docudramas, until this one. I found myself drawn into the "characters" from history and looking forward to each episode to find out what would happen to Paul Revere and John Adams, etc. Of course history already knows what happens, but you have the feeling when you are watching that the outcome is still unknown, because you are more emotionally involved. (Also this went way beyond my basic high school knowledge of the Am Rev). The acting was very good overall. Ok so the actual battle scenes went on a little long for the female audience, but even then, because I "knew" the characters, I had more interest even in the battles. Because I loved this one so much, it made me want to learn more about the American Revolution, so I got a full documentary on it. Mistake, way too dry, find myself falling asleep, too much like school. Can't speak to the complete historical accuracy of this one, will leave that to others who know more, but for drama and interest this is much better than a documentary.

Surpassed my expectations!!
I said it before and i will say it again. If they only taught history like this in school, maybe more kids would have grown a love for history. The actors are great! The portrayal of the authority the British soldiers were allowed to display and have in the colonies is beyond anything I could have pictured on my own. Yeah you read in the history class about certain "questionable" laws the British empire made in the colonies, but to see those laws being used and how it effected the colonists daily lives in this blu ray...again is unimaginable.! Loved every minute of it!! I recommend also watching The Men Who Built America, and The World Wars...same producers and for me it has been the same happy result!
