Raising Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is not just an American icon, but also a universal symbol of freedom and a beacon of hope for refugees all over the world. Based on a true story, "Raising Liberty" is a work of historical fiction which narrates the compelling journey of sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi as he brought the statue from conception to reality over the course of more than two decades. Facing financial struggles, engineering challenges, and the death of key supporters, only Bartholdi's courage and determination allowed him to finish the project and make his dream of a colossal monument to liberty a reality in New York harbor. "Raising Liberty" is a faithful portrait of Bartholdi's persistence in the face of unrelenting obstacles.
