One of MPI's founding contentions is that Americans need a filmography of freedom. There is no better medium for exploring the ideal of liberty--and, quite arguably, there is no artistic medium more underused for that purpose. We're trying to change that, one film at a time. And freedom-oriented policy groups are starting to notice that film is--or ought to be--where the action is.
On March 18, the Fund for American Studies will be holding a roundtable discussion entitled "Liberty on the Big Screen." MPI fellow Chandler Tuttle--whose 2081 stunningly adapts Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" for film--will be participating. Drinks are at 6:30, and the panel will begin at 7 p.m.
