The Revolutionary War may be over, but one of its best-known battles is still being fought. More than two centuries after the Lexington militiamen rallied against His Majesty's regulars at what would become known as the Battle of Lexingrton and Concord, sixty-five redcoats and sixty-seven colonial patriots face off each April 19th to bring to life the beginning of the American Revolution. Patriots Day, a one-hour verité-style documentary from Marian Marzynski (Shtetl), follows reanactors as they prepare for and engage in this annual encounter.
