Official Trailer for 'Flag Day' Doc About Three Oaks' Flag Day Parade

"The flag is for all of us." 🇺🇸 Indeed it is. Abramorama has unveiled the official trailer for the documentary film about America called Flag Day, made by the filmmaker duo Andrew & Melissa Shea – known as Shea & Shea. It's being released in theaters starting in June coinciding with the upcoming US Flag Day on June 14th in the summer. The film is a timely and deeply human portrait of community, identity, and tradition in contemporary America. Set in the small farming community of Three Oaks, Michigan near Chicago (see Google Maps) — home to the nation's largest Flag Day parade (visit their website) — Flag Day is a verité doc portrait of ritual, identity, and belonging in an era of deep political division. Filmed in an observational, verité style, Flag Day captures moments of humor, conflict, and grace as the community prepares for its defining ritual, offering a ground-level portrait of civic life that holds both the good and the hard truths of being American. The directors state: "Flag Day began as an effort to listen closely to a community coming together around a shared tradition, and to better understand what that ritual reveals about who we are." It looks like the kind of wholesome and humble storytelling we could use more of – reminding us we're all one. // Continue Reading ›
