Benedict Arnold - America’s Greatest Traitor Documentary

Discover the definitive biography of General Benedict Arnold, America's most infamous traitor, in this gripping historical documentary. Long before his name became synonymous with treason, Benedict Arnold was an exceptional military genius and a celebrated hero of the American Revolutionary War. From his tactical brilliance at the Battle of Saratoga and the invasion of Quebec to his close relationship with George Washington, we explore the rise of a legendary Continental Army officer.

But what drove America’s best general to defect to the British Empire? This deep-dive documentary uncovers the secret letters, political rivalries, and growing debts that fuelled the West Point conspiracy of 1780. Follow the dramatic timeline of his ultimate betrayal, the British spy network involving Major John André, and the shocking plot that almost destroyed the American Revolution.

We unpack the psychology of the Continental Army's most brilliant turncoat, exploring the hidden history, the heavy price of pride, and the lasting legacy of a disgraced patriot.
