Mellon Foundation Supports Festival That Will Show Sneak Preview of PBS "Hamilton" Documentary
In one week, Human/Ties, a four-day festival celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Endowment for the Humanities, will host a sneak preview of "Hamilton's America," a documentary film that delves into the life of Alexander Hamilton and the making of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning sensation "Hamilton: An American Musical."
The documentary will go behind the scenes of Miranda's creative process in transforming Alexander Hamilton's biographical history into a critically-acclaimed theatrical masterpiece.
The film follows the original Broadway cast from the theater to historic locations like Mount Vernon and includes interviews with President Barack Obama, President George W. Bush, Questlove, and Jimmy Fallon...
