Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This exciting series thrusts the viewer into the dramatic fray of the War of Independence, as seen through the eyes of two kids who have been taken in and given jobs as roving reporters by Ben Franklin. British teen Sarah sees both sides of the war and does not like either, while American teen Gregory is a passionate defender of freedom and liberty. French orphan Henri, who is also taken in by Ben, may be younger than his new 'big brother' and 'big sister', but he often sees most clearly. The series is packed with action, yet it confronts moral decisions head on. It is not concerned with the politics of history, but uses the drama of the events as a backdrop for the conflicts faced by its protagonists. This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.
