Reviews and Festivals
"Highly Recommended . . . A compelling cautionary tale . . . A treat to watch. Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is an excellent conversation starter in women’s
studies and political science classes. The video is also recommended
for media studies and communications classes because it is an excellent
example of a documentary short film."
