- When Thomas Jefferson, rode on his white horse to Independence Hall on 4 July 1776. Declaration of Independence in hand, people lined the streets of Philadelphia and cheered. Then, once inside the chamber, Jefferson and the Founders posed for pictures while each stood in line behind John Hancock to sign the Declaration. America was born. It's a nice story but it's not true. The story of a rag tag group of men who never met one another yet shared a common bond: a thirst for Independence! This is the true, tragic yet ultimately triumphant story of the Declaration of Independence and the men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their scared honor to bring it to life. Thomas Jefferson and his Patriot friends in VA find they are not alone in opposition against King George III but before they can mobilize to declare their independence they'll have to convince their reluctant countrymen who oppose Independence nearly as forcefully as the British. Will the colonies unite in declaring Independence or will states turn against one another and fight each other. In a race against time our Patriot fathers defy the odds to secure enough votes to Declare Independence.
- In 2009, the United States of America is looking for answers about our future. In 1776, we were given all the tools to guide us. Today, Mike Church brings you the definitive look at our past, how it relates to our present and what it can mean for our future. As the story goes, it was 101-degrees in 1787 Philadelphia yet our Founding Fathers endured. With the energy and wisdom of James Madison, they wrote the Constitution. Madison and Alexander Hamilton then wrote the Federalist papers, which won over the hearts and minds of most Americans and the Constitution was quickly ratified to the delight of millions. Sounds like a nice story and it would make a great movie, but there's one problem: It isn't true. Founding Father Films and writer/director Mike Church, the creator of the heralded documentaries "The Road to Independence" and "The Fame of Our Fathers," is presenting the "The Spirit of '76." The third chapter in the trilogy that began with "The Road To Independence." "The Spirit of '76" offers the real story of the writing and ratification of the Constitution in the new including the world's first portrayal of the most important yet untold piece of the story: the Virginia Ratification Convention. But you won't just hear the historic debates that shaped our country - you will travel back in time to Independence Hall and see it.
- The Fame of Our Fathers CD-Documentary America is struggling with soaring unemployment, inflation and bank failures. There is massive war debt and huge dissatisfaction with our trade agreements. Only this isn't happening in 2008 it happened in 1787! These events and others drove the Founders to try and frame a new government to deal with these challenges we call the result of their work: The Constitution. The Constitutional Convention was not billed as a constitutional convention at all. Our founders were not simply selfless statesmen but men who aspired to the greatness of immortality. The Constitution wasn't a "miracle" but the product of a few brilliant mens plans. Most Americans are inspired by the Founders, shouldn't we know who inspired them? The Fame of Our Fathers tells these and other patriots important stories.
