The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series begins with the PBS Film Series Rebels & Redcoats: The World Turned Upside Down. The Rebels & Redcoats series tells the untold story of the American Revolution from an unusual point of view, that of the British losers. Yet it also explores painful conflicts within the American people themselves. In The World Turned Upside Down, the British have enjoyed command of the sea, and with it the ability to move thousands of troops to wherever they are needed. But now an extraordinary naval blunder allows the French fleet to isolate a large British garrison at Yorktown. Surrender is inevitable, giving overall victory to Washington and his French allies. Those who have supported the British, the loyalists, thousands of African Americans and American Indians are left to the mercy of the new state.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, January 3rd, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
