In Colonial Williamsburg , Virginia , interpreters interact with audiences of our day , but in context of the world as they would have known it in their time.

In Jefferson 's day, that meant slavery, immigration and abortion.

Visitors to Williamsburg are left to grapple with the actual political problems of their day .

Stephen Seals : "So many of the issues that we deal with today are connected to decisions that were made in the colonial area" "I got very depressed, and I almost quit," Seals says.

"I love what I do, but I live out in the middle of nowhere for a reason, because when I'm done here, I want to go and be away from it all".
