Freedom on Trial

 

Libertarianism.org, a project of the Cato Institute, has released a provocative three-part short film - Freedom on Trial. This compelling courtroom drama takes viewers into the heart of the everyday issues that can arise when an employer’s desire to hire more employees runs into the barrier of minimum wage laws, and when the government’s plans to “solve” income inequality only make things worse. These complex problems take center stage in courtroom as both sides passionately make their cases. Quick, witty, dramatic, and empathetic, this series exposes the problems of authority, bureaucracy and centralization, while celebrating the “what ifs” of a life in a freer world.

Defense lawyers Holly and William take Philip’s case. District Attorney Sam inflates the case from one small business owner breaking a minimum wage law to the broader issue of income inequality. Will Philip be able to get a fair trial?

Freedom on Trial: Part 3 of 3 (09:46)

What the media’s now calling the “Income Inequality Trial” moves into its final days. Philip violated the minimum wage law, true, but did he really do anything wrong? Did he actually exacerbate income inequality? Or did he instead help a disadvantaged kid get his first job?
