The story of the Magna Carta: the Charter of rights. From its founding in 1215 by barons seeking protection of their liberties from an overbearing King John, to its role in establishing liberties for all, its role in the founding of America and the Bill of Rights, through to the present day. Following the opponents and defenders of Magna Carta over time, the program finds that while it was initially advanced by the powerful against the most powerful, it has come to take on a life of its own: its impartial and mutualist logic working to expand freedoms and justice wherever it takes hold.
