Synopsis
Freedom in America evolves through centuries marked by racial conflict, prejudice against immigrants, and the violent displacement of Indigenous peoples. As European immigrants arrive at Ellis Island, the Supreme Court affirms that non-citizens deserve equal protection under the law. Based on Joy Hakim's acclaimed book series, A History of Us, Freedom: A History of US features 16 episodes hosted by Katie Couric, with insights from historian Eric Foner and voice performances by Christopher Reeve. The series, originally produced in 2002, has been digitally remastered for contemporary audiences.
