Many people think the roots of our Freedoms started with men like Thomas Jefferson or John Locke in the 18th Century. Little do people know that long before the US Constitution, Rhode Island was the first Colony to have in its Charter Freedom Of Religion in 1663. The founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams is wholly responsible for the Radical idea and implementation of Freedom of Religion. Banished for his radical views by the Massachusetts Bay Colony during a harsh winter, these would be the beginnings of his journey to establishing what would be foundational to the future of America.

This documentary about the separation of Church and State, Directed by Andrew Linn, explores what led Roger Williams to his idea of Religious Freedom and the Biblical arguments he used to support it.

Interviews include:
NY Times Best-Selling Author, John M. Barry
President Emeritus Mercy University and Author, Tim L. Hall
Renowned Public Speaker and Author, Bill Federer
Pastor and Professor, Stephen Unthank
