Voices of Freedom: America Speaks

Unabashedly patriotic, Voices of Freedom is a short tribute to both the men and women of the armed forces as well as the many immigrants who believed enough in the “American dream” to leave their homelands and seek a new life in the United States. Combining stirring images, uplifting background music, and interviews with veterans, active duty personnel, immigrants, and others, who answer the question “what does freedom mean to you?”, this technically well-made program comes at a time when many countries outwardly profess that--to paraphrase Malcolm X--America's chickens came home to roost on 9/11. Offering a welcome reaffirmation of the beliefs and principles that have made the U.S. one of the great nations, this video should find a welcome niche in most public libraries. Recommended. Aud: P.
