Celebrate the War of 1812 with the multi-media PBS project The War of 1812
This e-newsletter is dedicated to The War of 1812, a comprehensive project from public broadcaster WNED that includes a film for PBS, companion book, educational resources and a content-rich website. Join us in celebrating this important war!
The two-hour film history airs on PBS stations nationwide on Monday, October 10, 2011 at 9 p.m. ET . Filmed by award-winning documentarians Lawrence Hott and Diane Garey and narrated by Joe Mantegna, the film explores when, from 1812 to 1815, Americans battled against the British, Canadian colonists, and Native warriors. The outcomes shaped the geography and the identity of North America.
Across the United States and Canada, communities are planning events to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812. We will send you updates about The War of 1812 and other Bicentennial plans.
The film will be nationally broadcast on PBS on October 10, 2100 at 9PM. Check local listings.
