Executive summary

I could not find a documentary titled exactly "Saving Liberty" in the available reporting; search results instead show multiple different documentary titles that include the word "Liberty," such as "Liberty of Conscience: The Founding of Maryland" (Nov 15, 2025) and several works about "Liberty" themes including Ken Burns' projects and films titled "Sacrificing Liberty" (2020/2024 screenings) [1] [2] [3]. Available sources do not mention a film called "Saving Liberty" by that exact name (not found in current reporting).

1. What the searches actually turned up: overlapping "Liberty" titles

The query for "Saving Liberty" surfaced several distinct documentary projects that use "Liberty" in their titles or subject matter: an upcoming history documentary "Liberty of Conscience: The Founding of Maryland" (listed with a November 15, 2025 release on IMDb) [1], Ken Burns' "Statue of Liberty" and other PBS projects about liberty and the American Revolution [2] [4], and a film called "Sacrificing Liberty" that examines the 1967 USS Liberty attack and has had virtual screenings and online attention [3] [5]. None of these results equals the exact title "Saving Liberty" in the provided reporting (not found in current reporting).

2. Possible causes of the mismatch: title confusion and similar themes

Documentary titles often share single-word themes like "Liberty" and may be conflated in casual conversation. For example, "Liberty of Conscience" and "Sacrificing Liberty" both center on different historical events tied to liberty and could be mistaken for another title that sounds similar, like "Saving Liberty" [1] [3]. The searches also returned broad listings of documentary TV shows and new releases where a user might have expected to find a different documentary under a similar name [6] [7].

3. About the specific films found: short profiles

"Liberty of Conscience: The Founding of Maryland" is described on IMDb as a 2025 historical documentary directed by W. Drew Perkins that explores Sir George Calvert's vision for Maryland and the complexities of liberty for early settlers; IMDb lists a Nov. 15, 2025 release [1]. "Sacrificing Liberty," directed by Matthew Skow, focuses on the USS Liberty attack (June 8, 1967), includes survivor interviews, and has been screened virtually with panel discussions—reporting frames it as alleging a subsequent U.S. government cover-up and pressing for recognition of survivors [3]. Ken Burns' "Statue of Liberty" and PBS's "The American Revolution" episodes examine liberty as a national symbol and theme across U.S. history [2] [4].

4. Credibility and viewpoint differences in sources

The materials differ in provenance and perspective. IMDb and BollywoodDadi provide production and release details and plot summaries but are not peer-reviewed historical analysis [1] [8]. The Palestine Museum US event listing frames "Sacrificing Liberty" as exposing a cover-up and includes survivor voices and advocacy perspectives—this source reflects a viewpoint that the incident was mishandled and politicized [3]. Independent outlets covering petitions or advocacy related to "Sacrificing Liberty" indicate the film has prompted calls for congressional inquiry, signaling that the documentary has been used to promote political action [5]. PBS and Ken Burns' projects are public-broadcast productions that foreground archival evidence and scholarly interviews [2] [4].

5. What I cannot confirm from these sources

Available sources do not mention any documentary titled exactly "Saving Liberty," so I cannot confirm its existence, director, release, or content from the supplied reporting (not found in current reporting). I also cannot confirm whether a film called "Saving Liberty" exists under a different distribution channel or as a working title—those possibilities are not covered by the provided results (not found in current reporting).

6. If you meant one of the similarly named films—what to check next

If you meant "Liberty of Conscience" or "Sacrificing Liberty," those are present in the results and you can follow IMDb for release details or the Palestine Museum US listing for screenings and panel information [1] [3]. If you recall other specifics (director, subject, release year, or where you saw it), share them and I will re-search the provided corpus and summarize what those sources say.
