It's not faultless. There are obviously no contemporary photographs (a familiar Burns tool) so the visuals are mainly an array of drawings, paintings and etchings that could do with some labelling. And while I liked the restrained use of live reconstructions that sparingly use often wintry landscapes to convey mood perfectly, at times the stirring music and rhetoric about "the noblest aspirations of humankind" gets a bit much. But it works superbly when it gets into the weeds of the story.

As with many of Burns’ works, like “The Civil War,” “The American Buffalo” and even “Jazz,” “The American Revolution” is as intricate as it is dense.

At once thorough, nuanced, and moving, investigating the paradigm-shifting uprising from numerous micro and macro angles that bring it to vibrant, inspiring life.
