A verité portrait of ritual, identity, and the people who breathe life into small-town America in this polarized time.
Somewhere between tradition and transformation lies the Village of Three Oaks, Michigan -- home to the largest Flag Day parade in the United States. For more than seventy years, this small town has marked Flag Day with a ritual that celebrates unity even as it exposes the divides running through America. Filmed with verité intimacy, Flag Day: An American Dream follows eight intertwined lives, revealing how community, patriotism, and belonging play out in one corner of America at a moment when the nation itself is deeply fractured. The result is a ground-level portrait of small-town life that speaks urgently to questions of who we are -- and who we want to be.
