Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie

Part Two - Under the Surface

The six-part series is a collaboration of over two dozen Vermont filmmakers, led by award-winning filmmaker Nora Jacobson. Filmmakers, politicians, scholars, artists and citizens probe under Vermont's bucolic surface to reveal stories of class, race, labor, education, culture, the environment, and much more, woven together in a lively tapestry of gorgeous images, voices and people.
