Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato's documentary 'Liberty: Mother of Exiles' explores the creation of the Statue of Liberty and its meaning to immigrants from around the world.
The fine HBO-produced documentary “Liberty: Mother of Exiles” serves as a comprehensive primer on all things Statue of Liberty. The film is also a vital reminder of the longtime value and significance of immigration and freedom, for which the iconic statue, which attracts 4 million visitors a year, has been perhaps the ultimate symbol.
Von Furstenberg, who’s been dubbed the statue’s “godmother,” helps the filmmakers explore their subject as she observes the museum’s development, discusses her own immigrant roots as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor , and hops the globe to learn more about the statue’s creators and history. We’re also introduced to the ancestors of Gustave Eiffel who designed Lady Liberty’s complex metal framework. Later, we get a tour inside the statue to witness Eiffel’s enduring scaffolding work.
Their appearances all effectively underscore how, first and foremost, the Statue of Liberty exists for “the people.” Or at least that’s always been the intention.don’t overly focus on the Trump administration and its harsh stance on dealing with refugees, one that negates the welcoming words of Emma Lazarus’ legendary, Lady Liberty-inscribed sonnet, “The New Colossus.”
