Documentary Screenings

We hope you'll join us for a series of three community screenings of the recent PBS release, “THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION” as we begin our 2026 program calendar!

Each screening will include a thirty-minute thematic reel of stories and highlights from the larger documentary, as well as a moderated conversation between audience members and university faculty and community panelists. Whether you’ve seen all eight hours of the documentary or none at all, these screenings will provide helpful context for the upcoming commemorations of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.

The programs will be held at 5 pm in the Northen Auditorium in Leyburn Library on the campus of Washington and Lee University. Admission is offered free of charge, and attendees are asked to RSVP in advance.

Schedule of Events:

January 13: Faith & Freedom
January 28: Voices & Visions of 1776
February 10: Spirit of Service
