Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), participated in Netflix's "The American Experiment," a new five-part historical documentary. The series examines the challenges of the nation's founding, reflecting on the American Revolution and the drafting of the Constitution. It also offers bipartisan analysis on the future of American democracy from the perspective of politicians. "The American Experiment" premiers on June 26th, 2026.
In addition to Senator Blunt Rochester, the series features former vice presidents (Mike Pence, Al Gore and Kamala Harris) and cabinet officials, current and former members of Congress, a former Supreme Court justice and leading historians from across the political spectrum to present bipartisan and deeply informed conversations.
"250 years ago, our founders took a risk and I'm sure what we've built is far beyond what they imagined," said Senator Blunt Rochester. "Netflix's 'The American Experiment' explores our history at a pivotal moment for our national legacy and identity. I'm thrilled to be a part of this project and can't wait for you to see it."
"They saw the tyranny of monarchy, and they wanted nothing to do with it," Pence says about the original revolutionaries.
Clinton speaks about how radical the new idea of self-rule, called "The American Experiment," was 250 years ago.
"This is a leap of faith into the unknown," Clinton says.
