This episode follows Franklin from his arrival as a fugitive indentured servant to his emergence as a leader of craftsmen, civic innovator, media pioneer, politician, and the force behind America's greatest Enlightenment city. But all around Franklin, slavery drives the city's prosperity. Sampson, enslaved to Governor James Logan, strikes out for freedom, forcing Quaker power brokers to wrestle with the great evil of their times. And soon, Philadelphia's peaceful charter will face its greatest test, as a violent frontier conflict threatens to explode in the city's streets. • Watch more at http://www.historyofphilly.com/ • Check out our website! http://historymakingproductions.com/ • History Making Productions presents • Franklin's Spark • An Episode of Philadelphia: The Great Experiment • Created by Sam Katz • Directed by Andrew Ferrett • Produced by Wendy Cox • Written by Andrew Ferrett Nathaniel Popkin • Director of Photography: Paul Van Haute • Music Composed by Patrick De Caumette • Edited by Rachel Sophia Stewart • Associate Producer: Jonathan Kohl • Narrated by Michael Boatman • Creative Director: Virginia Lasco • Production Designer: Steven Pennepacker • Costume Designer: Millie Hiibel • Principal Casting: Cynthia Jantzen • Hair Make-Up: Krystal Tini • Sound Dialogue Editor: Dan La Porta • Made possible through the generous support of: • The Halloran Family Philanthropies - Kay Harry Halloran • The McCausland Family Foundation - Bonnie Peter McCausland
