He is independent –– choosing his own path on his motorcycle, living life on his own terms. He is outspoken –– he has boldly criticized injustices in American law and society despite the backlash this has evoked from the establishment. Yet the element that he finds most important, most sacred, most American, is freedom. In Freedom, Sonny articulates many of the principles he employs in his own life.
