250 years ago, the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, creating a new nation. But Philadelphia’s history begins well before the events at Independence Hall.<\/p>\n

History Making Productions<\/a> is telling that story and showing how the birth and development of Philadelphia mirrors that of the United States.<\/p>\n

In Pursuit – Philadelphia and the Making of America<\/a> is a 10-part documentary spanning from the arrival of the first colonists to the land inhabited by the Lenni Lenape through to the 21st Century. Episodes<\/a> will be released throughout the year, beginning with Episode 1 – Freedom.<\/a><\/p>\n
