Movie poster for The American Revolution documentary. The Constitution's preamble serves as the background, with the words "We the People" looming large on an aged and crinkled paper. Below it, in inky blue profile, appears a man wearing a revolutionary tri-corner hat and riding a rearing horse. The sword in his had morphs into a writing quill. around him are other revolutionaries wielding muskets, a cannon, and a flag.
