EP1 The March of Freedom Oct 11, 2017

Freeman travels around the world in search of a greater understanding of the concept of freedom. From solitary confinement and forced labor camps, to social taboos and laws that hinder speech and expression, freedom seems to be a constant struggle. As individuals and as entire nations, we are confronted with the question: Will we all ever be truly free?

EP2 The Fight for Peace Oct 18, 2017

Freeman travels the world to study the cycles of war and peace. From the ritualized combat of the sacred Tinku festival in Bolivia to Rwanda’s postgenocide reconciliation program, this episode deals with humanity’s enormous capacity for violence and the endless pursuit of harmony. Conflict can drive innovation, but is war necessary? Physical barriers and a fear of destruction might make us more cautious, but is peace merely the absence of war?

EP3 The Power of Love Oct 25, 2017

Can love change the world? Freeman is on a global quest to understand how this primal force binds us together as a species. From orphanages to battlefields, from arranged marriages to life on the streets, Freeman sees how love can be found in unexpected places – and how this force inspires us all.

EP4 Us and Them Nov 08, 2017

Can we bridge the divide between “us and them?” At a time when the whole world seems to be polarizing into irreconcilable camps, Freeman sets out on a journey in search of the forces that push us apart, from intolerance of differences to fear of outsiders, and the possibilities of coming together.

Can we find a way to distribute power so that everyone has their say?

He explores how the rise of the internet may fundamentally change how democracy works.

EP6 The Spirit of Rebellion Nov 22, 2017

zivg Another propaganda piece from the Regressive Left Thinkuisition. I'm guessing 10 years from now I'd be arrested for writing this... All hail the church of the Regressive Left!
knopperz Morgan Freeman is a brilliant Character without a doubt. It riddles me how he can fall in this Binary Trap of absolute Good and Evil. The World isn't absolute... its probabilistic. There is no Black and White. Just many Shades of Grey.I really liked the first Season: "The Story of God". This one on the other Hand (the Story of Us) not so much.Its clustered with One-sided arguments and rhetoric, not even trying to understand the other side. And there is a Word for that: Propaganda.He is traveling to indigenous people, trying to understand them and the Culture...but apparently he is to afraid to travel to Russia (or Syria) to undergo a honest attempt to understand them.A good Documentary needs to be made from a neutral perspective...and that means that you also have to talk to people you don't like. And that's the reason why i can't give this more than 1/10 stars. I would even give 0 to be honest... but this isn't possible.What happen to you Morgan? Do you really need THIS to pay the Bills?And no, i am not a Putin Troll. I don't believe in Ideologies, Politics or Religion. I am my own sovereign, and i know whats right and wrong. Rulebooks are obsolete... everybody knows deep down whats right and wrong.
