Libertarian Movies, Films & Documentaries

Libertarian Educational Films, Documentaries For Kids

So, the kids are home now, and you’re wondering how their time could be spent on something more constructive than video games. As it happens, there are quite a few libertarian educational films and documentaries available online, most of them free. Links to video resources on economics and politics for teachers and homeschoolers can be found here; many of these include workbooks and discussion suggestions to go with the films. Films and documentaries on this site are also organized by topic, such as history, economics, and biography. A few particular educational films that would be suitable:

Amazing Grace | Inspired by Christian teachings against slavery, William Wilberforce leads an arduous but ultimately victorious life-long battle to abolish the slave trade. Biographical.

Johnny Tremain | A young man in eighteenth-century Boston becomes involved in the revolutionary events of his time and fights the good fight against authoritarian rule

And more…

Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet | A German doctor develops chemical agents for use against infectious disease. Biographical.
Heaven on Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism | A documentary chronicle of the rise and fall of socialism: from its utopian beginnings, through its bloody and totalitarian peak of power, to its sudden collapse.

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.
