‘Hamilton Building America’ Reveals much about this clever man
I am familiar with the name Alexander Hamilton. But I knew very little about him. It turns out he contributed a ton of things to this nation in its early days. I learned all of these things watching Hamilton Building America. Here is what I thought of this documentary.
You can read the plot for Hamilton Building America here:
This documentary captures the amazing life and times of our nation’s forgotten founding father: Alexander Hamilton. Exploring the iconic American political and financial institutions he helped to create — from the U.S. Mint and Wall Street to the two-party political system — we’ll examine Hamilton’s enormous influence that still resonates today. Ron Chernow, whose biography of Alexander Hamilton served as the basis for the hit Broadway play, along with other notable names including Tom Brokaw and Maria Bartiromo, contribute to an all-encompassing look at one of our nation’s most accomplished leaders.
I learned a lot about this amazing man watching Hamilton Building America. I was surprised by all the things he helped set up in his lfetime. He had his triumphs, failures, made mistakes along the way, and met an untimely end. The chapters were kind of short, and the segues into the next one weren’t always that great. I can’t say everyone will like this documentary, but history buffs are sure to love it.
Hamilton Building America comes out on DVD Tomorrow.
Apparently, not (yet) available on Netflix.
