And over that, this idea of development.

If that isn't as complex a storyline as anything I've said in which it's got undertow and all of the American experience.

We made a film on the American buffalo.

And I remember looking at one scene where Kevin Costner plays the lead, John Dutton, is explaining to somebody just about it.

And in three seconds, I just turned to my daughter and I said, that was our four hours on the buffalo.

Wow.

And he did it in like three sentences.

I don't, I know Kevin and he's one of the great guys.

So anyway, yeah.

Anybody trying to tell you how it was or to simplify it or to take down a plaque is scared and only authoritarians.

And by the way, we follow in our film, and maybe this is a way to ring this out.

We follow among the 150 different characters.

We follow a German Hessian soldier named Johann Ewald.

He's openly contemptuous of these rebels.

And he arrives in episode three at Staten Island when we send the first big batch there.

But he's there in three, four, five, and six.

But he's part of the surrounding army at Yorktown.

And he says after Yorktown, who would have thought 100 years ago that out of this multitude of rabble could arise a people who could defy kings?

These German soldiers who didn't get killed, who escaped and blended into the German communities, those who stayed and then got shipped back home, a lot of them came back with their families because they had seen the promised land.

Who would have thought a hundred years ago, out of this multitude of rabble, could arise a people who could defy kings?
