Free To Choose Network

Free To Choose Network is a global entertainment and distribution organization focused on creating compelling documentaries that stimulate thought and cultivate conversations. Our award-winning productions offer fresh perspectives on important issues; they are real stories about real people. Equally important to our productions is our commitment to educating children and opening their minds to a world of possibilities. Through our educational initiative, izzit.org^®, we produce and distribute video-centric educational teaching units that encourage thoughtful consideration and critical thinking. By way of powerful storytelling, Free To Choose Network inspires curiosity, elicits emotion, and opens the door for real conversations about issues that affect all of humanity.

Free To Choose Network is a global media 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to use accessible and entertaining media to build popular support for personal, economic, and political freedom thus advancing human well-being.

In 1977, former public television executive Bob Chitester and Nobel laureate winning economist Milton Friedman and his wife, Rose, began collaborating on a film project which became Free To Choose, an award-winning PBS television series and an international best-selling book based on the series, with sales in the millions. On the heels of that success, Chitester founded Free To Choose Network in order to continue creating documentaries for public television which offer a fresh perspective on a range of important global and national issues. More than 30 years and 500+ projects later, FTCN continues to bring thought-provoking and entertaining productions to public television audiences.
