SYNOPSIS

BirthRight: Born Free | Live Free is a provocative new documentary that challenges audiences to confront the slow, systematic erosion of individual and national sovereignty in America. Emmy Award–nominated director and producer Sarah Kanafani leads viewers on an urgent and visually arresting journey into the legal, financial, and historical frameworks that have quietly transformed the rights of the people into privileges granted—and increasingly revoked—by the state.

This powerful two-part film pulls back the curtain on the corporatization of the United States government, the rise of unelected bureaucracies, and the buried truths of admiralty law, birth certificates, and financial instruments that treat human lives as assets. With a striking blend of archival research, gripping interviews, and bold storytelling, BirthRight exposes the quiet transfer of power from the people to commercial entities and asks the question: What was lost at sea—and can it be reclaimed?

As government overreach seeps into every corner of daily life, the documentary invites audiences from all political backgrounds to reconsider what it means to be free. With unwavering heart and grit, a growing movement of truth-seekers plunges into the depths of forgotten knowledge—uncovering the symbolic language, legal fictions, and historical decisions that have kept generations bound in invisible chains.

This isn’t just a film—it’s a wake-up call. BirthRight is a rallying cry for all who believe in the promise of the Constitution and the Republic it was meant to uphold. It asks us to remember what was cast overboard and empowers us to reclaim our birthright before it slips beneath the surface forever.
