When a riot breaks out in Milwaukee, America's most segregated city, medical transport driver Vic is torn between his promise to get a group of elderly Russians to a funeral and his desire to help Tracy, a young black woman with ALS.
Give Me Liberty could have been a really powerful film, but due to many lengthy scenes that drain it sadly fails. The cast gives their all, and I hope to see these faces again - I just wish the filmmakers sat in the edit suite a little longer.

This movie is absolutely hilarious, completely crazy and incredibly touching. If you're a Hollywood/Oscar aficionado, don't bother - this movie is not for you.
The film is a hyperbole of the chaos of life set against the foreground of disability and the background of race riots. In the end, I believed this came from personal experience because no one could make up this kind of stuff. There were so many moments that I was afraid to laugh because I didn't want to miss the next shtick. Because after all, if we don't laugh at life, then we end up crying.
In the end, the tenderness of the film brought tears to my eyes anyway.
