Liberation Overture (11:00)
The forces of oppression operate within and without. The path to liberation and freedom must confront those forces, both within and without. Liberation Overture is a story about that struggle. The Wise Elder counsels peaceful resistance to oppression wherever it may be found. The Activists speak passionately to the people to bring awareness. The Artist makes a plea for creative imagination free from control. Mother gently insists on peace and justice for her children, those who have died or gone missing and those to whom the future belongs. The Hero leads the way toward unity with courage and determination. Together they shall overcome. Episodes:- Introduction
