Movie#1955 ........................."Hamilton: History has its eyes on you" (Disney+ short)

 Movie #1955 "Hamilton:  History has its eyes on you" (Disney+ short)  This runs about an hour , and it is well worth the time.  Narrated by Robin Roberts, starring the upper tier of the Hamilton original cast (Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Aaron Burr, Eliza and Angelica, Jefferson/Lafayette) are joined by an African American Historian with a powerful perspective discuss a bunch of subjects, mostly focussing on the effects of this show (in the middle of a pandemic, during the black lives matter protests, with the Trump white house), and they give background info I hadn't heard before, so I found it quite enlightening and recommend it after seeing the movie.  I give it 4.5 out of 5 --- there's a socko ending here where little kids sing in character the opening of the show --- you have to see it!  Amazing!
