The Statue of Liberty

Starring:Jeremy Irons, David McCullough (II), Mario Cuomo, Jerzy Kosinski, James Baldwin, Derek Jacobi, Milos Forman, Arthur Miller, Barbara Jordan
Director: Ken Burns
Studio: Pbs Paramount
Product Type: DVD
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Ken Burns's fourth short film gives us a clear taste for the style that he made famous with The Civil War and Baseball. The first half of this hour-long program examines the design and construction of the Statue of Liberty using drawings, photographs, and readings (Jeremy Irons gives voice to French sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, who designed the statue). As narrator David McCullough states, no one at the dedication ceremony mentioned immigration, but the statue became a towering symbol of America's open-door policy. The second half examines the meaning of the statue and of liberty itself. Comments by author James Baldwin, director Milos Forman, and politicians Barbara Jordan and Mario Cuomo reverberate, as does Paul Simon's song "American Tune," which bookends the picture. --Doug Thomas

Product Description
A symbol of freedom and democracy towering above the New York Harbor, she has welcomed the tired, the poor and the huddled masses into America for over 100 years.
Authoritative and richly detailed, THE STATUE OF LIBERTY explores the remarkable steps leading to its creation, from the initial struggles to find adequate funding to its celebratory centennial restoration. Rare footage and archival photos document the radical methods the French devised for shaping the massive sculpture, and for transporting their incredible creation to America. Discover the engineering marvel of its internal framework, designed by Gustave Eiffel, and the dimensions of its American-built pedestal. Finally, take a historical tour of the island on which it stands.
Originally a friendly gesture between nations, the Mother of Exiles stands today as a testament to human ingenuity, freedom, and hope.

Description
These seven brilliant programs by America's foremost documentary filmmaker comprise a glorious anthem to a great nation and its people. "Brooklyn Bridge" and "Statue of Liberty" chronicle the conception and building of these magnificent structures that grace New York Harbor. "Empire of the Air" is an absorbing history of radio and the men who created it, while "The Congress" is a fascinating portrait of this unique American institution. Opposites in almost every way, artist "Thomas Hart Benton" and politician "Huey Long" are portrayed in compelling biographies. "The Shakers" is a moving tribute to the most enduring religious experiment in American history.
