These fourteen, 30-minute historical dramatizations bring to life important sections of Alexis de Tocqueville’s examination of American liberty as he observed it firsthand. The book upon which these dramatic excerpts are based was published in 1835 and 1840.
The episodes follow Tocqueville and his companion, Gustave de Beaumont, from their landing in New York (May 1831) through their departure nine months later, and conclude with a final episode set twenty years later.
