External Reviews

“A heartfelt ode to an important historical figure.”
–Film Threat

“How can the average person, without advanced degrees, position, or stature, hope to elicit change in their community if the rules don’t function to serve that community? As she fights back tears and rage, Aduba is absolutely enthralling, beautifully conveying the complexity and righteous fury of every parent who only wants to make the world better for their child.”
–Elements of Madness

“The movie does not preach — it lets Walden Ford’s real-life story sear in its moral: parents need choice, and children cannot wait.”
–Forbes

“Miss Virginia gives a voice to the voiceless children who would otherwise remain a part of the system…Five-star film.”
–Black Girl Nerds

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.
