The video is being released ahead of the new documentary "Liberty: Mother of Exiles" (out Oct 17), which follows fashion icon and immigrant Diane Von Furstenburg as she explores the origins of the Statue of Liberty. "The New Colossus" poem - which the current administration recently suggested should be re-written to read "give me your tired, your poor - who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge" - has struck renewed meaning in 2019's political climate.
The documentary premieres on HBO October 17th.
