Freedom River (1971) Orson Welles

Uplifting modern day parable about mankind getting along together. Narrated by Orson Welles. Animation directed by Sam Weiss. Aside from the animation, which, while effective, comes across as somewhat simplistic, Freedom River remains a timeless classic. It serves as a poignant parable about freedom, clearly alluding to the United States. The film traces the nation’s trajectory from a period of prosperity, pride, and liberty to a time where selfishness, xenophobia, and ignorance gradually tarnish the very river that symbolizes its greatness. Ultimately, the narrative presents two stark choices—fascism or self-determination—as the means by which to either confront or ignore the decline of this vital symbol. The film’s message is both thoughtful and timely, making it especially relevant today as many of its themes resonate with the challenges we face in the modern world. It is a work of considerable insight, well worth viewing
