George Lucas’ Micro-Budget Short Film: Freiheit
George Lucas’ Micro-Budget Short Film: Freiheit
Freiheit (German for “freedom”) is a 1966 short film by George Lucas, made while he was a student at the University of Southern California’s film school. His third film, it was the first to contain a narrative.
The film follows a student’s attempt to escape to freedom. This student (Randal Kleiser) tries to run across the Berlin border from East to West Germany, but ends up being shot in the chest and side gut and is mortally wounded. While he dies, he thinks about dying for freedom. – Wikipedia
