andrea clarke hasn't added a story.
Rarely do people speak of or remember peaceful, honorable men and their world changing contributions. As a descendant of Joseph Clarke, Dr. John Clarke’s youngest brother, I am honored to produce a film that shows the world the importance of John’s life and his unwavering commitment to build a community where persons of differing religious beliefs could live together in harmony and welcomed to practice their faith without fear of persecution.
John Clarke is not well known in our history books, but should be prominently celebrated front and center of those who currently hold his rightfully earned title as Founder of Religious Freedom. For without John Clarke, Religious Freedom and Civil Liberties may not have been afforded in the free world as we know them today.
After many months of historical research and story development, we need your kind support and generous donations to move our film into pre-production. Please donate what you can today and please share with all you know! We thank you!

Soul Freedoms, The Life of John Clarke, America’s Forgotten Patriot Feature Film is a true story of one man’s unwavering belief that we are all born free with innate Soul Liberty, "Liberty of Conscience". This heart-centered story will bring you on a journey of hope and inspiration through tumultuous times of John's Clarke's religious persecution, self-sacrifice and diplomatic actions to ultimately secure religious and civil freedoms for the Colony of Rhode Island.
John Clarke's unwavering steadfast ability to face his adversaries and risk of treason in a diplomatic manner won him the audience and respect of King Charles II to secure the Royal Charter of 1663, which John Clarke wrote, thereby providing Religious Freedom and Civil Liberties for the Colony of Rhode Island.
For the
first time in world history democracy was synonymous with freedom.
Further the ground was broken for the United States Constitution
and the democratic way of life that would not come until over a
century later.
