Cambodian Day of Remembrance: Five Films to Honor the Dead

Cambodian

Pol Pot and his gang of Khmer Rouge socialist comrades murdered 25% of Cambodian citizens, in total somewhere around two million lives, in the span of just five years (1975-1979).

james stewart

James Stewart -- born May 20, 1908 -- made many films over his long acting career.

Vindicated: Amanda Milius ‘Plot’ Film Was Right

vindicated

Film director Amanda Milius has just been vindicated. In 2020, Milius released The Plot Against the President, a documentary that alleged Hillary Clinton's campaign had colluded with intelligence agencies to falsely smear the Trump administration with links to Russia. The political left treated the film's narrative as a right-wing conspiracy theory of the lowest order. … [Read more...]

communism

Perhaps as many as a hundred million people were victims of communism in the last century, deliberately rounded up, shot, starved, or simply forced to march into snowy wasteland until dead, exterminated by communist regimes. The most comprehensive statistical source for democide statistics, Death By Government, puts the toll at 106 million. Necrometrics estimates that Stalin … [Read more...]

Happy Earth Day! /Sarc

earth day

Earth Day is an annual celebration to support "environmental protection" -- no, not primarily to promote good things like clean air and clean water, but to fight global warming, excuse me, climate change, via massive government regulation, control, and spend on a world scale. All this is justified by claims that doom is nearly upon us and can only be averted by radical change … [Read more...]

Waco Anniversary Recalls Film That Exposed Cover-Up

Thirty years ago today, a religious commune in Waco, Texas was raided by FBI and BATF, resulting in the holocaust of 76 people including children, burnt alive. The official story was initially that the tragedy was a mass suicide, that authorities never fired a shot and never set fire to their compound. That became -- through constant repetition -- the narrative that everyone … [Read more...]

Leslie Howard -- born April 3rd, 1893 -- is probably best-known to audiences for his memorable role as Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind.

Bruce Willis: Libertarian Film Hero

bruce willis

Bruce Willis -- born March 19th, 1955 -- started out as a minor off-Broadway actor but eventually landed the lead in Die Hard, launching his now legendary action-hero career.

Things Are Weird. Is It Time To Watch Wild Palms?

For years, the most outrageous conspiracy theory that had any popularity was the claim that a corrupt cabal of pedophiles and pervs were somehow calling the shots behind the scenes, protected by governments.

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
