- George Washington is central to understanding America's founding. He was the crucial figure in winning the American Revolution, in creating the Constitution, and in establishing the precedents for effective self-government as our first President. George Washington's sense of virtue, his lifelong activity as a citizen, his reverence for the rule of law, and his commitment to establishing the American Republic make him the essential figure for every American to know and study. This is especially true at a time where there has been dramatic decline in the number of Americans who know and understand American history. In this documentary film, The First American, Newt and Callista Gingrich, in collaboration with the Gingrich Foundation and Peace River Company, explore the life and legacy of George Washington. This film features exclusive interviews with H.W. Brands, Douglas Brinkley, Jane Hampton Cook, Joseph Ellis, William Forstchen, Gay Hart Gaines, Allen Guelzo, Victor David Hanson, Walter Isaacson, Edward Larson, and Edward Lengel. The First American was shot on location at location at George Washington's Mount Vernon, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, in Washington D.C. and at historic estates on the James River in Virginia. An America that understands its greatest leader will be a freer, safer, and more prosperous nation. The First American will help ensure that the legacy of George Washington continues to inspire future generations of Americans.

- To avoid interference from the royal governor of the colony and his marines, the Second Virginia Convention met in Richmond, Virginia on March 20, 1775 to discuss recent proceedings at the First Continental Congress. The meeting turned into a debate over whether or not to arm the colony to resist British forces whose numbers were steadily increasing in North America. Many members preferred to adopt conciliatory measures, but Patrick Henry delivered an impassioned speech, arguing Virginia needed a "well-regulated militia." It was imperative, he declared, that the colony be prepared to oppose King George III. He ended his oration with the phrase: "Give me liberty or give me death!" This documentary, filmed at site of the original convention, provides the historical context for the debates and recreates the most important speeches delivered during the meeting, concluding with Henry's famous address.
- Randy Dowdy and David Hula are two of the best farmers in the world, and they travel the country sharing their expertise with farmers and helping them take their farm to the Next Level of yield and profitability. Mickey Gottsch is a farmer from Nebraska who grew up working on his family's operation, falling in love with the land and the lifestyle. He's consistently raised crops with above average yields throughout his career, but in recent years his yields have begun to plateau. Plus, he faces challenges of losing acres to development, as well as the problems Mother Nature brings, from unpredictable weather and flooding to harmful weeds and insects. The increasing financial challenges of farming in today's economy have driven Mickey to seek out new practices and solutions. In the premiere season of Next Level Farming, Mickey knows he needs to take his farming to the Next Level - and to help him to do so, he turned to the experts: Randy Dowdy and David Hula. A third-generation farmer from Virginia, David has been setting new records in corn yields for two decades and holds the current world record of 616 bushels per acre. Randy is a first-generation farmer who, while relatively new to farming, has achieved world record yields in both soybeans and corn. After his experiences learning to farm, he established the Next Level farming program as a collaborative effort with one simple goal: to work together with farmers to figure out what works and what doesn't when it comes to yield and profitability. Today, he and David travel the country sharing their knowledge, and after hearing them speak at one of their events, Mickey reached out, hoping they could help him assess his land and ultimately increase yields.
