Ocean Avenue Entertainment released Noble Story Co. new documentary, RUSH: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION’S INDISPENSABLE DOCTOR, on Wonder Project on June 1, as part of America250 programming, marking the nation’s 250th anniversary.
“Benjamin Rush understood something that too many of his contemporaries were not willing to accept: that the ideals of the American Revolution — liberty, equality, and God-given rights — must apply to everyone,” said New York Times bestselling author and historian Joseph Loconte, who hosts the documentary. “His story is not merely a part of the historical record. It is a challenge to every generation that follows.”
Most Americans can name Washington, Jefferson, Adams. Benjamin Rush? Probably not — and Noble Story Co. has set out to change that. Rush was one of 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, one of the youngest in the room at 30 and, by nearly any measure, one of the Revolution’s most consequential figures.
“Benjamin Rush is one of those rare figures in American history who was present at every critical moment — and yet somehow forgotten,” said Andrew Teravskis of Noble Story Co. “We are thrilled to partner with Wonder Project to bring his extraordinary story to audiences, especially during this milestone year for our nation.”
