For an honest look at the untold stories left out of traditional history books, check out the debut of the documentary Becoming American: Philadelphia’s Story. Explore the birth of the United States through the lens of its first capital, Philadelphia. The film will tell the early, unfiltered story of enslaved Africans and how diverse communities shaped an upstart new nation. Produced by Oliver St. Clair Franklin and Bear House Media, the film will air on Philadelphia WHYY on May 28th, and later nationwide on PBS, beginning Monday, June 15. The Philadelphia origin story is an account of a whole nation, and it is relevant today as America celebrates its 250th birthday. 8 p.m. EST. WHYY-TV 12. https://www.pbs.org/show/becoming-american-philadelphias-story/
