The social and political challenges of the 1970s set an awkward stage for America’s 200th birthday. With no national events being planned for this major milestone, a dedicated group of people set out to create a traveling showcase of American historical artifacts. This documentary explores the story of the American Freedom Train, the nation’s largest Bicentennial event that brought together millions of Americans at a time when they needed it most.
