Documentary 'The Art of Liberty'
The documentary shows how a strong culture of remembrance has developed in Dronten, a municipality that did not yet exist during the war. Stories about Allied airmen, surviving relatives, and local residents involved are interwoven with historical footage and interviews with present-day Royal Air Force personnel.
The documentary also highlights the special connection with Edinburgh and the role of the air gunners. The combination of personal stories, historical context, and musical support makes the documentary a powerful and moving production.
Over the past period, recordings were made at various locations in Dronten, including memorial sites and commemorative gatherings. Together with archive material and interviews, these recordings form the foundation of the documentary.
With The Art of Liberty, the documentary not only looks back, but also ahead: how do we continue passing these stories on to future generations?
