From the trailer's comments
Trailer looks nice. One of the few places/monuments I visited when I went to America long ago.
@Vivek_Rajagopalan · 0 likesAll Very moving, except the Statue of Liberty is a man. Isn’t it obvious?. More masculine that Michaelangelo’s women( modeled by men). -It’s a freemasonic object of symbolic control. Not freedom at all
