Provocative in content and innovative in production, DECLARATIONS: ESSAYS ON AMERICAN IDEALS is a collage of opinions from all walks
of life and both sides of the aisle, a stimulating discussion of some
of America's basic societal values. Viewers will hear how our
inalienable rights - granted to "all" Americans more than 200 years
ago in the Declaration of Independence - are lived and interpreted
today.
Produced by Claypoint Productions for ITVS, DECLARATIONS is
comprised of three one-hour programs, LIBERTY: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL?, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. The series was created by 15 leading independent producers teamed with 14 individual thinkers and a group of New York City ninth-graders. Each team created a personal declaration about
what life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness means to them.
