What motivates a person to muster up courage in a time when it’s quite controversial to step out as an individual? And how many of us are there? Sienna Mae Heath has a plan to find out. In Free the People’s new series, Leaving the Left for Liberty, Sienna talks with whistleblowers, dissidents, and other alternative voices in the Western world who have left the culture of the political Left for more creative freedom, professional freedom, and personal freedom.
The video version of this podcast is available on YouTube @freethepeople.
Why I Re-Planted Outside Louisville with My Family | Filmmaker Kenneth Stevenson | Ep 37
Kenneth Stevenson is a filmmaker illustrating stories centered on bodily autonomy, the virtue of suffering, self-governance, diversity of thought, voluntaryism, and the struggle of displaced transcendentalists. He frequently draws inspiration from punk / y’alternative rock music and Libertarianism to express his frustrations with centralized power and oppressive ideologies.
During Part 3 of 3, Kenneth opens up about the murder that happened on his street in Louisville, Kentucky, its effects on his immediate family, and the perspective gained from hearing the opinions of the neighbors and the police.
Kenneth and host, Sienna Mae Heath, explore the nature of the liberty conscience, worries about loved ones’ ideological capture, and discerning what are the real or biggest threats while entertaining conspiracy theories. Rooted in free will, liberty is beautiful and yet cursed with its price: eternal vigilance. Americans owe it to each other to shoulder the burden of vigilance so that there is headspace for one to live in the present moment.

Running a Film Company in this Authoritarian Moment | Kenneth Stevenson | Ep 36
Kenneth Stevenson has worked for Time Warner and SONY. He has won film festival awards and even a scholarship from David Letterman. A dual entrepreneur and artist at heart, Kenneth co-founded Digital Alliance in 2015 to serve nonprofits and brands with their video marketing. In 2021 he won a scholarship from the Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity.
During Part 2 of 3, Kenneth and Sienna Mae Heath discuss whether unity is seen in the natural world, the creation of art in joy and fear, and the people-pleasing done in the advertising industry in an attempt to attract a wider audience.
We also talk about Kenneth’s first feature film, Cheery Point, the story of a totalitarian medical state enforced on a small town, and how joyful the awakening process can be.
