Join us ahead of the occasion of Americas 250thbirthday for an exclusive screening of the new documentaryFlag Day, directed by Melissa and Andrew Shea. Set in the small farming community of Three Oaks, Michigan home to the nations largest Flag Day parade Flag Dayis a verit portrait of ritual, identity, and belonging in an era of deep political division. Over the course of Flag Day weekend, the film immerses viewers in the lives of a diverse cross-section of townspeople: veterans, local business owners, marching bands, and volunteers who, for one weekend each June, create an event that is at once nostalgic and reflective of the tensions of our time. Their stories reveal both the beauty and the fragility of community life in a time of polarization. Flag Daywas filmed in an observational, verit style, capturing moments of humor, conflict, and grace as the community prepares for its defining ritual. This screening is free and open to the public. No registration required. Flag Dayis 75 minutes long and unrated. A brief and optional discussion will directly follow the film.
