DVD Reviews of Thomas Jefferson - A View From the Mountain
DVD Review: In the one scale justice, and in the other self preservation.
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this jewel by accident while I was looking for films about mountain climbing. Well, that just goes to show you that life is indeed a box of chocolates. This piece requires a bit of work to chew but it's well worth the effort and I highly recommend it.
This documentary does an excellent job of revealing the path that led towards the manifestation of the truth: That all MEN, of all races, were indeed created with an inalienable and equal right for the free pursuit of happiness. It shows us the loss of this right is not the state of human existence desired by our Creator; but that it is instead a manifestation of the chains of tyranny which men themselves create.
We are shown that outright slavery is only the most obvious example of the ways in which men are deprived of their freedom. The film describes how the seeds of this truth were sown in early drafts of the Declaration of Independence. It goes on to illustrate the necessity of preserving the existing social and economic structure, including slavery, so the nation could serve as fertile ground in which the tree of liberty would grow.
This film indicates Jefferson recognized the process of ending slavery had to be one of slow change and compromise. TJ believed that proceeding in haste would have meant the destruction of the nation. The film leads me to admire the vision, perseverance, and honor of this extraordinary leader.
It concludes by revealing that even Jefferson was not immune to a far more subtle, far more pervasive form of tyranny that exists to this day: He died in debt - hardly the "evil tax-evading capitalist slave owner" that postmodern progressives would have us believe he was.
