Pursuit of Freedom is deeply rooted in Christianity and while I am not religious myself. I can’t deny the fact that the film shows its story of faith in a very charming way. The George A. Johnson film follows the incredible true story of Anna (Jessica Koloian), a Ukranian mother of three who goes through hell when she is kidnapped by local mobsters and sold into prostitution and sexual slavery.
After nearly three years of enslavement, Anna is left for dead on the side of the road by the mobsters after she becomes ill and is no longer attractive to clients. After weeks of lying unconscious, Anna awakens in a hospital in Amsterdam where she is helped by a kind nurse Naomi (Sharonne Lanier), who reads Anna passages from the Bible and leads her on the path of Christ.

Pursuit of Freedom is a film directed by George A. Johnson and stars Jessica Koloiano and Stelio Savante.
This is a movie about human rights in the face of bureaucracy.
Jessica Koloian and Stelio Savante are exceptional actors in a movie that is above all, very humane.
Storyline
A woman is attacked and her children are kidnapped by a group of criminals because of bad debts of her husband which she has been separated from for years and she will not stop until she gets her kids back.
Movie Review Pursuit of Freedom (2022)
Pursuit of Freedom is a movie that fools one from the start, but in a good way. It looks almost like it will be a thriller, with the first scenes leading us to thing that “here´s another Bruce Willis movie…” and no, because Pursuit of Freedom is, above all, a story about people searching for freedom...

Although he occasionally uses a broad brush dipped in primary colors while fashioning his admiring portrait of Bob Zellner, the grandson of a Ku Klux Klansman who improbably evolved into a civil rights activist during the early 1960s, filmmaker Barry Alexander Brown shrewdly and intelligently avoids most of the “white savior” clichés common to such scenarios in “Son of the South.” Based on Zellner’s memoir “The Wrong Side of Murder Creek: A White Southerner in the Freedom Movement,” and available starting Feb. 5 in limited theatrical runs and on digital platforms, Brown’s well-crafted and period-persuasive biopic strikes a dramatically sound and emotionally satisfying balance between the moral awakening of its white protagonist and his relationships with sometimes encouraging, sometimes skeptical Black leaders and foot soldiers.
The movie’s opening minutes indicate just how dangerous it could be for a white Southerner to be viewed as a “race traitor” in the days of segregation,...
