225th Yorktown Battle for Victory Anniversary Commemoration DVD
Price: $25.00
Directed by Kevin R. Hershberger. Copyright 2007 by Lion Heart Films. This extensive and exclusive DVD celebrates the 225th anniversary re-enactment of America’s momentous 1781 Revolutionary War victory at Yorktown, Virginia. The four-day commemorative event was held October 19-22, 2006, with many of the events staged on the original field. Four different battle re-enactments feature re-enactors from around the world portraying Continental Soldiers, American Militia and Riflemen, German Hessians, British Regulars, the French Army in America as cavalry, artillery, camps, 18th century women and sutlers. The cameras were “embedded” with these soldiers on the field of battle and in their camps, carrying the viewer on the journey to final victory in the American Revolution. For the first time in 225 years, and within days of the actual anniversary of the formal British surrender, nearly 2,000 re-enactors met on the original, hallowed “Surrender Field” to commemorate the British defeat to the allied American and French forces led by General George Washington. Documentary running time is approximately 120 minutes. Widescreen, Color.
