Historical narrative films have a tendency to fall into a variety of traps, namely: a tendency to only focus on famous people, being full of clichés/tropes, or possessing a boringly dull storyline. It's rare to find a movie within this genre that not only avoids these traps, but also includes brilliant acting, sharp writing, and beautifully shot visuals. Freedom's Path contains all of those elements and more. It's a film that immediately brings you in and keeps you there, without relying on overt violence or dramatic soliloquies. It is a powerful, original, and emotional story, matched with a cinematic style that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
