From National Geographic Documentary Films, Academy Award-winning director Cynthia Wade, award-winning director Sharon Liese and executive producer Giannis Antetokounmpo, "The Flagmakers" poses one of today's most pressing questions: who is the American flag for? Employee-owned Eder Flag in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, sews and ships five million American flags a year. The flagmakers - locals, immigrants and refugees - stitch stars and stripes as they wrestle with identity and belonging. Sewing manager Radica, a Serbian immigrant, believes every flag has a soul. Ali, a war survivor from Iraq, is learning how to use a sewing machine after arriving in the United States just 90 days prior. Midwestern-born Barb's genuine friendships with her immigrant co-workers belie her staunchly conservative beliefs. SugarRay, a Black man born and raised in Milwaukee, reflects on his complicated relationship with this country. Each considers: What does the American flag represent in a changing nation and world, and for whom? "The Flagmakers" is an intimate glimpse into the people whose hands make America's most recognizable icon.

I wish, I really wish this was as a documentary about the particular flag and an appreciation for the enumerated self evident truths that people came to pursue. Instead, this is sadly a poor film due to a bizarre insistence for the right diversity moments only occurring in a modern Los Angels setting. This film could have had insight into the diversity for small a town with a large immigrant population juxtaposed to the backdrop of a traditional American culture. Unfortunately that authentic scenario did not match the producers expectations for rural Wisconsin. Yet another, this is how producers wish America was vs an observation of how America is.
