About the Film: 

Hosted by Richard Brookheiser and produced and directed by Michael Pack, Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton tells the dramatic story of our least understood founding father. Brookheiser walks the paths of Hamilton's life, from the Caribbean Islands where he was born, to Yorktown and Wall Street where he fought and worked, to Weekhawken, where he lived and died. We hear a Treasury Secretary, a Supreme Court Justice, publishers, warriors, pornographers, lawyers, calypso singers and urban gang members talk about money, rights, battle, sex and honor - all the themes which shaped Hamilton's life and the modern capitalism he fought so strenuously to establish in America; and, of course, which led to his death in the most famous duel in American history.
