Congratulations to filmmakers Annabel Park and Eric Byler for the well-deserved Twitter “thumbs up” from Roger Ebert – arguably, the best film critic in America. If you’re not familiar with the story told in the film, check out the synopsis here. Better yet, watch the movie if you possibly can, as it powerfully depicts Corey Stewart et al. turning Prince William County into “ground zero in America’s explosive battle over immigration policy.” With immigration continuing to be a hot issue nationally, as well as here in Virginia (see today’s Washington Post editorial blasting Corey Stewart’s “intolerance” and “disdain for facts”), “9500 Liberty” will likely remain highly relevant – and instructive – for years to come.
