“STATEMENT REGARDING DECLARATIVE MODE: "In 1776, Thomas Jefferson included in his draft of the Declaration of Independence a denunciation of slavery. However, this visionary passage was deleted from the final draft of the document by Congress. This film attempts to celebrate the spirit of Jefferson’s adamant declaration of human liberty for all races in pure color rhythms.”
