Documentarian Ken Burns will visit Concord on April 17 to discuss his new film, “The American Revolution,” timed to the start of the War of Independence on April 19, 1775. Burns will be joined by co-directors Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt and historian Rick Atkinson, author of “The British Are Coming,” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Concord-Carlisle High School. Following approximately 40 minutes of clips, the filmmakers and Atkinson will join in a conversation about the film and the meaning of events at Lexington and Concord that led to the American Revolution.
The event will be open to the general public, with reserved seating for Arlington, Concord, Lexington, and Lincoln residents and students. Registration information will be available in March.
