Woodstock Business Makes a Movie!
The making of the film, "Runaway Slave" is a story unto itself. A Woodstock business made the film with contributions from people all over the country that wanted to have this story told.
A small mom and pop business in Woodstock, Georgia has made a movie and it is set to release in theaters on July 27. Ground Floor Video in downtown Woodstock spent two years making the film “Runaway Slave.” Luke Livingston, Executive producer was approached by Rev CL Bryant to unravel the mystery that still keeps our country divided down racial lines Using leading black conservatives as "conductors," Rev. Bryant, the Runaway Slave, believes it is time for a new Underground Railroad to help liberate all Americans from the Government plantation that has left the black community dealing with a new form of slavery: entitlements. A one-time NAACP local chapter president, Rev. Bryant discovers that by buying into the entitlement mindset of "progressives," the black community has traded one form of tyranny for another
"Why are we still thinking we are not free at last? What ideas are keeping us down?" Rev. Bryant asks. "For too long, we have been depending on other people for our success. We have to pursue our happiness; our happiness is not provided to us. If we are relying on someone else for our wellbeing, that in itself is a form of slavery."
From our nation's capital and freedom's birthplace, to the dens of slavery and Jim Crow, to wherever a light for liberty is shining, this runaway slave looks to bring hope to the oppressed. Among the leaders he talks with along the way are Dr. King's niece, Dr. Alveda King; former presidential candidate Herman Cain; Congressman Allen West; economist and author Dr. Thomas Sowell; talk-show host and author Glenn Beck; the late Andrew Breitbart. We also meet a new generation of young freedom fighters who are on the front lines of change!

Rev. Bryant's conclusion? It's time to run. "Run away from economic slavery. Run toward the blessings of liberty. Let us remain strong in this fight. Run away from socialism; run away from progressivism. And if you get tired, America … run harder!"
Livingston’s small team made the film with contributions from people all over the country that wanted to have this story told. The making of the film, “Runaway Slave” is a story unto itself.
