Join Judge Douglas Ginsburg and Garrett Snedeker, host of the Anchoring Truths Podcast, for a deep dive into Judge Ginsburg’s latest documentary We Hold These Truths: The Global Quest for Liberty. In the documentary, Judge Ginsburg charts the historical and global struggle to fulfill the Declaration’s promise of human equality from our nation’s founding to the modern day. For example, Judge Ginsburg asks Americans as well as Frenchmen off the street what the Declaration of Independence means to them today, as well as unraveling the precious stories and plight of activists in Hong Kong as they too yearn for the same principles of liberty and equality echoed in the Declaration.
