Bach's Fight for Freedom - 2 stars out of 10
As a music educator, I have been showing this film to my students for several years... not because of the quality of acting, but because it's a way for my students to hear the music of Bach while learning about the social systems of the Baroque period. If there was an "Amadeus" or "Immortal Beloved" that used Bach as a main character (with quality acting), I would immediately trade in this Bach VHS. Every moment of this film feels like a made-for-school-educational-movie but it serves its purpose - "Bach's Fight for Freedom" has its place but does not need to be removed from the music classroom.
