Frihet Eller Død
Funny that the bad reviews on here are all similar. Goes to show just how powerful these names have become and who really wants to keep the public in the dark about such figures. The key is to have low information voters to stagger the polls and keep people from knowing truth. This movie is an epic documentary on what has happened and where this country is going as long as people are protected from truth. It comes as no surprise to those of us that are informed and will greatly awaken those who are not. Hollywood is dying a slow death and independent films are taking root. Rent it, buy it, and I guarantee if you like to think you will NOT be disappointed. Forget the naysayers, for they would like to to stay in 1950's social America. Be a free person with a free mind that accepts facts, not fiction.

First of all, Glenn Beck plays a minor role in this movie. He is shown in a few video clips, but so are many leaders of different races and opinions. I don't understand why some people think he plays a bigger part. This movie tells the story of C.L. Bryant and follows him as he searches through history and talks with people from all walks of life to discover why people seem to be sold out to a political party that may not even represent their point of view. I saw this movie in the theater and bought it to watch again at home with my children. I do not see it as promoting a political agenda. I believe the message is to refuse to let your vote be taken for granted. Instead of casting a ballot for a candidate simply because they are on a political ticket that your Mama always voted for, take time to learn about the issues and see who will best represent you in office. This is a good lesson for us all.

One of the most important movies of the last 50 years. Thank You Rev C.L.Bryant and all involved - for this amazing documentary. Your bravery and leadership is so needed and so very important. I had tears in my eyes through the whole thing. The truth is powerful. I am so inspired by the leaders who appear in this documentary. Praise the Lord for those who find a way to break away from whatever darkness pervades the conditions of their birth and seek the light. Peer pressure is such a powerful thing, it takes a special mind to see beyond it. Those who condemn this movie are trapped in a spiral and don't realize they are being pulled down. Freedom is not just something we enjoy by the grace and wisdom of our Founding Fathers, it is a state of mind. Thank You again! I am blown away.

Dr. MLK Jr's references a Negro spiritual in his "I Have a Dream Speech" - "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last." Runaway Slave asks: Are we really free?The film carries you through interview after interview around the country, garnering viewpoints from leading minds and influential people. It isn't about Democrats or Republicans; it's about independent thought instead of being enslaved to government or party politics. "It's OK to leave the plantation," as the movie assures viewers.I've been following this movie for quite some time now. Finally releasing in theaters, it does not fail to deliver technically. I could listen to the soundtrack over and over - and the editing style is beautifully modern and active; something uncommon for documentaries.Leaving the theater, I felt proud to be an American. Proud of where my country is after the turmoil of slavery and civil rights. I can't help but urge people to see it for themselves, and to think for themselves instead of going with what a party or organization tells you.Those who have rated this film one star have either not watched it or are incapable of giving it an honest review. Even the music and editing style earns it more than one star.
