Resolved to Live or Die: The Revolutionary Roots of Southwest Virginia is a Blue Ridge PBS and PBS Appalachia documentary, released in late 2025, detailing Southwest Virginia's crucial role in the American Revolution. The film highlights the 1775 Fincastle Resolutions—a pre-Declaration of Independence document declaring a resolve to die free rather than live as slaves to the British Crown—and includes historical reenactments.
