Should be Titled "From Pride to Propaganda"

I was surprised in the beginning at how beautifully this documentary displays the melting pot that is America, with our shared flag at the center of the discussion. The diversity and pride displayed by the employees at Eder Flags was awesome to see, with one natural born citizen even helping a legal immigrant employee practice for their citizenship. Everyone was proud to display their heritage, but seemed equally unabashed in their love of this country.At exactly the halfway point, sad piano music begins, and the black character devolves into a tired "You can love this country, it don't always love you back" speech. The rest of the documentary is a sad, political tantrum that nobody asked for, everybody is tired of, and that is entirely misguided and based on falsehoods that are apparently still being perpetuated on a population that knows better. Criminals are treated as such, and no amount of misinformation is going to change either that fact or anyone's feelings about it. It's certainly no reason to hijack the film this could have been.Frankly, I expected this misguided commentary earlier in the show considering it's NatGeo and Disney, but the beginning made me think they'd turned a new leaf. Boy was I wrong to expect any different. I should've realized sooner how careful they were to not depict a single white man.This is propaganda. This is not something to be proud of. I would not recommend showing to children unless you want them regurgitating nonsense and growing up despising this country.

Expected Cliche and Missed Opportunitiy

The concept was good

I started off enjoying this film. The people working at the flag company were diverse in cultures and seemed to share a love for the country that welcomed them in and they had a love for the flag making they did for their living. The problem for me started when they brought in the political division and solely focused on the right side as bad and the left as good and victims of the right. The problem with doing that, is that you create more division in race and culture unnecessarily. The reality is that there is good people and bad people that believe any certain idea. The film focused on Jan 6th riot calling it deadly when the only person killed was a rioter shot by capitol police. The film shows sadness from the flag makers, but there is never a mention of the blm riots that burned cities and killed police and citizens. They mention George Floyd but only as a victim of stupid cops and not who he was. If we truly want a peaceful, fair and just America, then let's all stop and realize what politicians and media are doing as they spread one side views that divide and cause hatred. We all are equal and we all should show both sides of a situation to paint a real picture of what we need to do to foster love and appreciation for all people.
