Monroe Hill | Home of President James Monroe
“Monroe Hill”, a film by Eduardo Montes-Bradley, unearths the history of the site that contains the last remaining structures of the late 18th century southern plantation. These surviving structures are silent witnesses to Monroe’s struggle as a farmer and a politician from the late 1780’s until the laying of the cornerstone at the University of Virginia on October 6, 1817.
The film includes the chapter of James Monroe's life as Minister to France and his relationship with Thomas Paine, Tom Wolfe, Adrienne de La Fayette, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton.
“Monroe Hill” brings to the foreground a previously unexplored period of the life of James Monroe featuring extensive documentation, independent research, and interviews with experts. Rare film footage from D. W. Griffith’ “America” and “Orphans of the Storm” was used to create a sense of verisimilitude. “We were able to obtain prints of excellent quality on both of these films, and they served to portray the prevailing phenotype in colonial Virginia at the turn of the 18th century” explained director Eduardo Montes-Bradley, who also affirmed that “These early American films -shot in and around Williamsburg in the late 1910’s- are more powerful than a reenactment. The texture and the overall miss-en-scene of the period dissolves flawlessly with the narration creating a sense of documental continuity.”
“Monroe Hill” is an investigation of a space stationary in time, an archeologically challenging experience that explores a place and the people that contributed to its transformation; thus, challenging the idea of a mythical birthplace of the University of Virginia.
The film also explores other properties owned by James Monroe during the same period, his Ministerial affairs in Paris, family liaisons, slavery, and the overall complex relationship with many of his contemporaries including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
“Monroe Hill” was shot at the University of Virginia, and various other locations in Paris, Philadelphia, Richmond, Washington, D.C., Fredericksburg and New York. The documentary was made possible through an award from The Jefferson Trust, an initiative of the Alumni Association of the University of Virginia.
Comments
With Monroe Hill, Eduardo Montes-Bradley has produced a magnificent work of scholarship. Drawing together historical images, silent-era-black-and-white film footage, and modern commentary, the documentary persuasively argues for Monroe Hill's pivotal place in the development of the United States as a new nation. James Monroe began farming the property in 1789, the same year that the government began under the Constitution. Initially intended as a prosperous agricultural seat, Monroe Hill became instead a great seat of public learning. Rather than crops, the land yielded minds and knowledge, two essentials in the country's conflicted but persistent rise to prominence.” William Ferraro | Washington Papers.
