FLAG DAY (Documentary, 72 minutes)
Set in the small farming community of Three Oaks, Michigan — home to the nation’s largest Flag Day parade — Flag Day is a verité portrait of ritual, identity, and belonging in an era of deep political division. Somewhere between tradition and transformation lies this village, whose annual parade has become a pageant of American aspiration and memory. 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 Day was filmed in an observational, verité style, capturing moments of humor, conflict, and grace as the community prepares for its defining ritual. The film offers a ground-level portrait of civic life — a portrait that holds both the good and the hard truths of being American. The project asks what binds us together today and whether those bonds can still be renewed.

Acclaimed actor and film producer Tyler Perry made a notable contribution to both the art world and American cultural heritage by purchasing "Geech," a remarkable artwork created by the esteemed artist Jonathan Green.

Demonstrating his dedication to the arts and cultural preservation, Perry has generously donated this piece to the White House collection. This act not only enriches the nation's artistic repository but also highlights Perry's commitment to promoting and valuing artistic expression. Jonathan Green's "Geech" stands as a symbol of profound artistic talent and cultural significance. Its inclusion in the historic White House collection ensures that this masterpiece will be appreciated and reflected upon by future generations, further cementing the importance of art in shaping national identity and conversation.
