What The Statue of Liberty Is About
For more than a hundred years the Statue of Liberty has been a sign of hope and refuge for generations of immigrants arriving in America. Ken Burns’s documentary takes up both the history of the statue and the question of what the word liberty actually means. Rare archive photographs, paintings and drawings are used alongside readings from the diaries, letters and newspapers of the time. The film carries conversations with Americans from every walk of life, James Baldwin and Arthur Miller among them, and everyone answers the question of what freedom is differently. What the statue has meant has changed with who was arriving and who was being turned away, and the film keeps that change in view. The sixty minute American documentary was completed in 1985.
