About this episode
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Hamilton and the upcoming 78th annual Tony Awards, here is our original 2023 episode on the film version of the beloved musical.
In the 2020 film version of the Broadway musical Hamilton, a young and ambitious Alexander Hamilton yearns to write a long-lasting legacy of his own, and of a brand new country in the New World he helped create. Aaron Burr, one of history's great frenemies, stands in his way.
This episode of Hip Hop Movie Club answers the question: Just how revolutionary was the hip-hop infused story and theatrical production of "Hamilton?"
