The American Miracle Expanded

America’s founding was no accident. The American Miracle Expanded goes wider and deeper into the stories and themes seen in the feature film. With 2.5 hours of new material this special bonus disc explores the forgotten story of America’s birth with the help of divine providence, through a string of spectacularly unlikely deliverances and breakthroughs.

In contrast to the cultural winds that credit America’s ascent to exploitation and dumb luck, our most important leaders shared a sense of providential purpose in guiding the new nation. Dramatic narratives combine with expert commentary to produce new insights into why America, despite its flaws, became a land of liberty, prosperity, and opportunity unparalleled in all of human history – and why ignoring America’s history puts us in danger of losing it.

24 BONUS FEATURES INCLUDE unseen interview footage from leading voices, new scenes, and making-of-the-film insights. Discover what isn’t being taught today in the areas of The Foundations of Liberty, The Unknown Washington, and Slavery and the Founders as your understanding and appreciation for America deepens.
