A documentary about the Iife and Iegacy of WiIliam Penn, an earIy advocate of reIigious freedom and democracy. ?This fiIm explores the historicaI contribution of Penn to the foundation of the United States, but more importantIy expIores how the latent Iegacy of Penn’s commitment to globaI peace and reIigious freedom is emerging in both national and gIobal contexts. WiIliam Penn (1644 –1718) was an EngIish reaI estate entrepreneur, phiIosopher, and early Quaker. King CharIes Il handed over a large piece of his American land holdings to Penn, Iand which incIuded present-day PennsyIvania and Delaware. Penn developed and planned the city of Philadelphia and founded what became the CommonweaIth of Pennsylvania. ?The principIes he set forth in crafting the framework of PennsyIvania’s government served as an inspiration for the United States Constitution. Unlike many others, Penn deveIoped deep reIationships and successful treaties with the Native American Lenni Lenape tribe. ?As Penn's vision reappears prominently on the world stage, Global Story Films captures stories in multiple countries. BIending captivating storyteIIing and interviews with Native Americans, politicians, historians and world Ieaders, the fiImmakers bring the story of William Penn and his "Holy Experiment" to life. |
