Synopsis

On Patriots' Day, a group of Revolutionary War re-enactors meticulously prepare to recreate the events of April 19, 1775, in Lexington and Concord – the moment those shots echoed across the globe. Filmmaker Marian Marzynski adopts a quiet, occasionally playful approach to the subject (a stark contrast to the reality of the era), yet the individuals portraying these historical figures are deeply committed. As one explains, "It is vital to grasp the intensity of what transpired here."
