Information brought tears to my eyes.
Review by Ruby T. review stating Information brought tears to my eyes.
I was on Liberty Island in April and this DVD was so well produced; the emotions of being there resurfaced. Interviewing many people with a variety of backgrounds showed the complete picture from ALL angles. Not everyone sees the statue as a symbol of hope and freedom!! Seeing the renovation done of the statue re-emphasizes its importance. Thank you for having it available.

We bought this for our grandsons - we have eight. It tells the statue story in a way that fascinates every age - including ours. Excellence is Ken Burns second name.

Wonderful story of an amazing statue. Seeing the statue in New York for the first time brought tears to my eyes; seeing this film had the same effect.
