FRONTIER TO FREEDOM
TV-PG · 1 × 120 min
Producer: Manitou Films via WGVU Public Media
FRONTIER TO FREEDOM unearths the rich and often overlooked history of Michigan, tracing its evolution from a vast, untamed wilderness inhabited by Indigenous peoples in 1600 to its emergence as the 26th State in 1837. Through a blend of expert interviews, archival imagery, animated maps and striking visuals, the documentary explores the region's formative years, its history of war and conflict on the American frontier, and the complex socio-political forces that shaped its path to statehood.
