Freedom and Liberty - Introduction

For this section we have been a two project based on the title, Freedom and Liberty. We watched a documentary, 'The Naked Ramblers', which is about a couple who attempted to walk from Lands End to John o'Groats naked. They were protesting for the freedom of the human body but were met by a mixed reception of haters and enthusiasts. It resulted in several arrests, prison sentences and relationship breakdowns. While watching the documentary, I understood there point of view to there reasons behind it and on the other hand those of the opposing people. 

This made me question about the theory of freedom. Amongst the class it caused a lot of speculation about what actually is freedom and that we are not truly free because of the laws our control abides by. However I found myself appreciating these laws instead of rebelling against them, for if it wasn't for these laws our society would not work any where near as well as it does and simple things like walking streets safely would be compromised. From this I started to think of ideas to create short film about, based on different peoples interpretation of freedom.
