“SOUL LIBERTY” THE STORY OF DR. JOHN CLARKE, AMERICA’S FORGOTTEN PATRIOT
PIONEER * REBEL * PATRIOT
A BAPTIST MINISTER OVERCOMES PERSECUTION AND RISKS TREASON TO SECURE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND CIVIL FREEDOMS FOR THE COLONY OF RHODE ISLAND.
“Soul Liberty” is based on the life of Baptist Minister and Physician Dr. John Clarke and his journey to overcome religious persecution, loss of personal freedoms, mounting sacrifices and risk of treason to secure the Rhode Island Royal Charter of 1663 from King Charles II which granted far-reaching Religious Freedom and Civil Liberties to the colony of Rhode Island, thereby changing world history.
“The whole basis of Dr. Clarke’s Charter and land purchases was “equality”! Even more astounding, he achieved through peaceful measures."
FILMMAKERS STATEMENT
Rarely do people speak of or remember peaceful, honorable men and their world changing contributions. As a descendant of Joseph Clarke, Dr. John Clarke’s youngest brother, I am driven to share with the world the importance of John’s life, his unwavering commitment to build a community where persons of differing religious beliefs could live together in harmony and welcomed to practice their faith without fear of persecution.
Referencing John’s book “Ill Newes from New England” and scores of historical research, our film, a full-feature Historical Drama, will bring you into Dr. John Clarke’s world and his journey to overcome religious persecution, loss of personal freedoms and risk of treason to triumph in obtaining Religious Freedom and Civil Liberties for the Colony of Rhode Island, and in effect, changing world history.
Love, peace and acceptance of others starts within each one of us. Like Dr. John Clarke “Uncle John”, I believe within the depths of my soul, Religion, our Personal Beliefs are synonymous with our Rights to be Free!
Andrea M Clarke – Producer, Writer
