The noble idea of “Liberty” means different things to different people. And it is forever in jeopardy and conflict…
In the United States, it feels like all highways lead to places with the same name – more than 200 towns and counties named Liberty. A journey to half a dozen of them is a window on the state of America in the 21st century – places that struggle with a variety of issues that define their notion of freedom, such as tolerance in a post 9/11 world, religion, illegal immigration, racism…
Each town offers its own story, told with great insight and a sense of humour by director Alan Handel, who highlights his tale with surprising and sometimes quirky archival material and a cast of memorable characters - as colourful as the country itself.
