Description:
As a tribute to the American spirit conceived after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Let Freedom Ring: Images of the American Spirit takes an unusual and not entirely successful approach. Proceeding without an overall narration, the production features footage of events that have become icons of American history. Included are scenes of the legendary flag raising on Iwo Jima, World War II victory celebrations, the inauguration of John F. Kennedy, the liftoff of Apollo 11, and the explosion of the Challenger. The film concludes with CBS News clips of the September 11 attacks and lengthy excerpts from speeches of President George W. Bush that followed the tragedies. While this video seems haphazardly constructed, and there are some odd mistakes (such as indicating that President John F. Kennedy's funeral took place in 1962), it is interesting as a collection of footage of some remarkable and inspiring historical events. --Robert J. McNamara
