On September 27, after seven years of production, the Vermont Movie Collaborative, based in Norwich, VT will release Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie, the first film series about the many voices, cultural and political traditions that give the Green Mountain State its bold, iconoclastic spirit and democratic values, and the first collaborative film ever made about a state.

The six-part film, a collaboration of three dozen critically acclaimed Vermont filmmakers and historians, is led by award-winning filmmaker Nora Jacobson. Part One will be shown at the Barre Opera House on September 27 at 7:30, preceded by a catered reception starting at 6:00. This will be followed by screenings at the Vermont Historical Society in Barre and the Savoy Theater in Montpelier. The barnstorming tour is co-sponsored by the Vermont Arts & Humanities Councils, the Vermont Historical Society and the Vermont Folklife Center.
