About the film
“Becoming American” is a story about the birth of our nation. The proud tale of how 56 men from 13 colonies told their British landlords that enough was enough, and they were ready to stand on their own two feet. Philadelphia was the backdrop for the conversations, debates, and the drawing up of documents that would shape our country’s founding, but this is a shared history that resonates from East to West, North to South, in places that had not even been dreamt of in 1776. The semiquincentennial belongs to all Americans.
