''[[Freedom]]'' is a play drafted by members of the [[Moral Re-Armament]] ([[MRA]]) organization at a meeting in Caux, Switzerland.

The key writers seem to have been Ifoghale Amata from Nigeria (Act 1), [[Manasseh Moerane]] from South Africa (Act 2), and Abayifaa Karbo from Ghana (Act 3).

A play about a nationalist independence movement set in an imaginary West African country, Bokondo, under colonial rule, ''[[Freedom]]'' was first performed by an African cast at the Westminster Theatre, London in 1955.

The play was filmed in Nigeria with a large cast during 1956 and had its premiere in Los Angeles, in 1957.
