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.
