At the heart of The American Soul is a call to rediscover the timeless truths hidden within the founding vision of the American nation. Embedded in the ideals of democracy, individual liberty and freedom of conscience is a view of human nature that echoes essential aspects of the wisdom that has guided every great civilization of the world. Free of all religious and philosophical dogma, and liberated from all historical and political cliches, this uniquely American vision has the power to speak again to the modern world's need for meaning and community. .,."an amazing journey to the very heart of those...people who like to call themselves Americans." — Ken Burns
