The Statue of Liberty (1985)


Academy Awards, USA 1986

Nominated

IMDb
(DVD, PBS)

Thorough account of both the history of the iconic American statue and the meaning of "liberty". Ken Burns manages to make interesting what most Americans take for granted. Even though made in 1985, the notion of "liberty" has become even more debated in the modern polarized political climate.
