NARROWSBURG  — The hamlet of Narrowsburg saw the surprise appearance of world renown filmmaker, Ken Burns, last Thursday. Currently, the cinematographer has a heavy focus on war figures in his documentaries.

Burns’ newest upcoming work plans to make its appearance in late 2025 and  is called “The American Revolution” — prompting a stop at Fort Delaware where Florentine Films set up and worked to bring Burns’ project to life. Burns was joined by Roger Sherman, Buddy Squires, and Larry Hott, the founders of Florentine Films, as well as County Historian John Conway and the Delaware Company Executive Director, Debra Conway.

According to promotional materials for the upcoming series, the six-part, twelve-hour saga will take a look “on America’s founding struggle will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through.”
