In 1983, Solari conceived, produced and directed the televised documentary film, THE MEASURE OF AMERICA, winner of the Honor Certificate for Excellence from The Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge and, out of hundreds of entries, a selection as one of six Finalists at the American Film Festival.

in a ceremony at Rockwell International.

The Freedoms Foundation National Awards Program is intended "...to focus attention on those whose words and deeds generate faith in America and respect for its ideals."

Charles Champlin, LOS ANGELES TIMES Arts Editor says "...the refreshing value of (the) film is that it reaffirms that the American dream belongs to each of us--to pursue and also to defend."

AMERICA can now be seen in its entirety on YouTube.
