A More Perfect Union   Award Winning DVD Movie

AMERICA, 1786. Ten years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. England wages a new war of unfair trade and tariffs. Bickering and jealousy fracture the once united states.

But a handful of brilliant men, James Madison, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, lead a politial battle to create a new form of government, one that will establish the standard of self-government to the world.

A More Perfect Union - America Becomes a Nation (2-hour motion picture) is the first comprehensive recreation of those stirring, heated debates during the sweltering summer of 1787.

Filmed on location at Independence Hall, Williamsburg, Virginia, and other historical sites, it dramatically chronicles how America became a nation and those underlying principles that guard our freedoms today.

This is the most ambitious film ever made covering the happenings at the Constitutional Convention and is "...of exceptional merit".
