Take a behind-the-scenes look at Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking musical in this riveting documentary. Discussion follows Yale Prof. Joanne Freeman, renowned Hamilton scholar.

This behind-the-scenes look at Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking Broadway hit reminds us how timeless its hot-button issues are: immigration, states’ rights and race relations.
