An epic tracing the lineage of a peace‑loving humanity, from biblical figures—Noah obeying God, Moses guiding the Israelites, Jesus sacrificing himself for peace—to milestones such as Columbus’s discovery, the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation. It then asks how this free, freedom‑seeking race fares when autocratic forces threaten democracy on the eve of World I.
