Alamance

18th century North Carolina. A colony overrun with corruption, oppression and overtaxation, courtesy of the ruling English government. It is a setting ripe for revolution – which is just what happens when a band of farmers rises up to protest the policies of the colonial powers-that-be. Alamance tells the story of that protest – known as the Regulator Movement – as seen through the eyes of Herman Husband, a Quaker farmer and member of the Colonial Assembly.  Husband witnesses and actively participates in the rise and fall of the Regulators -- culminating in the Battle of Alamance, with tragic results in the moment, but lasting historical significance for America.

Filmed across the state, Alamance features historic sites in Hillsborough, New Bern, Raleigh, Durham, Burlington, Vass and Centerville, and in Camden, South Carolina.
