Bach's Fight for Freedom
Bach's Fight for Freedom is a 1995 film created by David Devine and Richard Mozer for HBO Original Films of New York and directed by Stuart Gillard.

Set in the early 18th century Prussian states, Johann Sebastian Bach, in his 30s and a chapel organist, is enraged. It is bad enough his boss, the Duke, stifles his creativity. Now the bumbling fool has given him 10-year-old Frederick Muller, a servant he suspects is a spy! But soon, the temperamental composer recognizes a kindred soul in his new assistant, for both know too well what it is like not to be able to follow your dream. 

The film was shot in Český Krumlov, Bohemia, in the southern Czech Republic. The soundtrack score features the Brandenburg Concertos, which were produced by David Devine for Sony Music of New York. The Slovak Philharmonic was commissioned to perform the soundtrack and was conducted by Ondrej Leonard.

The film has been broadcast in over 100 countries in many languages and has been shown in music classes.
