REDISCOVERING ALEXANDER HAMILTON
SUNDAY, AUGUST 19 @ 7:00PM & 11:00PM
Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton, by director/producer Michael Pack and writer/host Richard Brookhiser, re-invents the documentary biopic. Following the style of their acclaimed Rediscovering George Washington(2002), they take us to the Caribbean islands where Hamilton was born, to Yorktown and Wall Street where he fought and worked, to Harlem and Weehawken, New Jersey, where he lived and died. We hear a Treasury Secretary and a Supreme Court Justice, publishers, pornographers, lawyers, warriors, calypso singers and urban gang members talk about money, rights, news, battle, sex and honor—all the themes that shaped Hamilton’s life, led him to his early death, and helped him make modern capitalist America.
