The American Miracle Plus Expanded - Combo Pack

COMBO PACK  1. The American Miracle : Our Nation Is No Accident

There is a forgotten story in America’s founding that most Americans have never heard. It is woven from countless instances of improbable, unimaginable success. Whether it is the supernatural protection that surrounded George Washington – the Father of our Country – throughout his life, the mysterious weather conditions that dramatically favored the movements of the Continental Army at critical battlefield junctures, or the unique and longstanding success of a revolution unlike any other in recorded world history, it is difficult, nearly impossible, to explain the outcome of any of these, and so many more events like them, without allowing for divine intervention. In his first inaugural speech, President George Washington described it as “the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men.”

Narrated by Michael Medved and filmed at historic locations in the United States, The American Miracle stars Pat Boone, Kevin Sorbo, Nicole C. Mullen, Cameron Arnett, and James Arnold Taylor, along with authors and scholars Joseph Ellis, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert P. George, Akhil Reed Amar, and Jana Novak, among many others.

RUN TIME: 134 Minutes

SUBTITLES: English, Spanish

2. 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.
