STUDIO ONE: THE TRIAL OF JOHN PETER ZENGER (1953)

The story of John Peter Zenger who fought British rule in the American colonies and printed materials against King George III. This case is important to American historians and champions of the First Amendment because it represented a strong repudiation of British libel law and also marked an important fissure in the relationship between the American colonies and the mother country. Our own government today, together with corporations, are limiting our press/media by labeling it "misinformation".
