Most people, when they think about the libertarian movement, consider its lofty ideals. These ideals animate the movement. Most libertarians want you to know the names of the authors. These authors wrote the books that contain the ideas, theories, and arguments. These elements constitute the supporting pillars of the libertarian edifice. They want to share with you the beautiful and complex ideas that motivate them. They wish to persuade you of the rationale behind these ideas. They also want to show how well they explain a free society.
But how about the leaders of the libertarian movement? How much do most people
know about them? Even those who have been active in the movement would find it difficult to describe the lives of those leaders. These are the leaders who have kept the
flame of liberty burning bright through the decades. The documentary aims to explore one of the most outstanding torchbearers personally.
It seeks to get up close with the individual.
The documentary will highlight Dr Mary Ruwart’s achievements as a libertarian. It will focus on her influential books, such as Healing Our World and Short Answers to the Tough Questions. It will also cover her work in the field of Ethics. Additionally, it will show her involvement with the Libertarian Party and Liberty International. The audience will have an opportunity to grasp the extent of her contributions to the libertarian cause. They will also gain a deeper insight into her achievements in the field of medicine, both in research and academia.
Most importantly, the documentary will offer viewers the chance to experience a more intimate portrait of Mary Ruwart. It will allow them to understand her journey on a more human level. Thus, it will delve deep into her life journey to explore
● How did libertarian ideas first emerge in her life?
● Did her immediate family and friends approve of her new philosophy?
Or
● Did she experience significant pushback from her surroundings?
● What are the personal sacrifices that she has made to support these
ideas so actively? Did it make her enemies?
To find the answers to these and other questions, the documentary will, of
course, interview Dr. Mary Ruwart herself.
To build a more thorough picture, it will piece together her journey. It will also capture her personality by interviewing close family, friends, and fellow libertarian activists.
We hope that by the end, the audience is inspired by the eloquence and grace of her works and activism. We also want them to feel that they know her better as a human being. They should understand all the highs and lows of a life well lived.
