R. J. Mitchell: Happy Angel Birthday!

May 20, 2025

British aeronautical engineer R. J. Mitchell was born on May 20th, 1895. He is little known today, but as the inventor of the Spitfire fighter plane, he is said to have done more to turn back the Nazi menace than anyone other than Churchill. What makes his story all the more remarkable is that his heroism was largely single-handed and alone, occurring in the mid-1930s before … [Read more...]

Tillie Majczek: The Mom Who Toiled 11 Years to Free Son Remembered in Film

Happy Earth Day! /Sarc

April 22, 2025

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...]

That became -- through constant repetition -- the narrative that … [Read more...]

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.
