As we look at the state of our nation today, it feels like we’re facing threats to liberty and democracy our ancestors couldn’t even have imagined. They fought for freedom on foreign shores as they battled tyrants abroad in international conflicts, like World War II. At least everyone was fighting for a common goal as “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” History is never as simple as that, however. Although the 1940s were a wonderfully patriotic time, one very insightful film reminds us freedom is never a guarantee, even in America.
