HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE FILM SERIES:
...a novel approach to dealing with the early chapters of Vermont’s history and looking at some of the crucial geopolitical events through the social history of the non-white population ...bold and very interesting.”
— Michael Sherman, historian and author of Freedom and Unity: A History of Vermont.
The fact is that neither Old Vermont nor New Vermont are as good or as simple as our first, knee-jerk reactions would make them. Today’s Vermont is a complex place, as was yesterday’s Vermont. And the two are deeply related.” —
Tom Slayton, author, commentator, and editor of Vermont Life magazine from 1986 to 2007.
