Bach’s Fight for Freedom
Bach’s Fight for Freedom
Not even a jail cell could imprison his creative spirit.
The chapel organist, Johann Sebastian Bach, is enraged. It’s bad enough his boss, Duke Wilhelm, stifles his creativity. Now the bumbling fool has given him a servant he suspects is a spy! But soon, the temperamental composer recognizes a kindred soul in his new 10-year old assistant, Frederick. For both know too well what it’s like not to be able to follow your dream. Set in 1717, Bach’s 32nd year, Bach’s Fight for Freedom passionately argues that the only master you can serve faithfully is your own heart.
The movie is approximately 53 minutes in duration and is in English, Spanish and French languages.
