This General Electric film marks the company’s 75th anniversary by celebrating American industrial and scientific innovation. Tracing electricity from Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment through the innovations of GE’s founder, Thomas Edison, this film shows how the power grid works, and argues that electricity has made life much easier for everyone. General Electric also argues for the freedom of individual rights over state control. “Freedom & Power” was part of GE’s “More Power for America” campaign promoting expanded infrastructure work. close
