Atun-Shei Films | The Birth of an American Town ~ Episode 2 @AtunSheiFilms | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The second installment of a three-part documentary series telling the story of the formation of the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts in the 17th century. In this episode, the Sudbury settlers lay out an early form of infrastructure and establish a self-sufficient municipal government. However, as the town grows and a new generation comes of age, class division threatens to tear the community apart.
Very special thanks to @StefanMilo for his guest narration and Callum from @Embracehistoria for his cartography.
