The Amazing Mr. Franklin

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of seeing clips of a new three-part documentary about Benjamin Franklin. The film, by Muffie Meyer, Ellen Hovde, and Ronald Blumer of Middlemarch Films, premieres next Tuesday, November 19, at 9pm on PBS.

I quite enjoyed Middlemarch's series Liberty! about the American Revolution. What I saw of the Franklin film indicates it will be an informative and enjoyable experience as well. Mark your calendars!
