The NBC Boston original series Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of New Hampshire follows a libertarian political migration known as the Free State Project. Twenty years ago, one man penned a manifesto encouraging 20,000 libertarians to sign a pledge and move to the Granite State for more freedom. “The Free State Project” has shaken up politics and communities in New Hampshire and is growing in strength and numbers. 

Alison King, Shira Stoll and Dan Ferrigan, who worked on the 8-month long project, will join the Institute for a moderated discussion, sharing their insights of the Free State Project and how they gained trust of both sides to produce a fair and balanced docuseries. 

Free and open to the public with advance registration.
