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.

When Grace’s brother, AJ, undergoes life-threatening surgery, she ends up becoming his caregiver. These siblings reconnect and realize that, no matter how distant they have grown, they’ll always be a part of each other. The story is set in Los Angeles during the days after Michael Jackson’s death, and as Grace tries to reconcile her complicated relationships with her siblings, she is also saying goodbye to the icon who was the soundtrack to that chapter of her life.

A cop finds that his wife and daughter are involved in a New Age cult when he returns home after eight months.

Pulitzer prize-winning reporter and author, Buzz Bissinger, experiences a sexual awakening while collaborating with Caitlyn Jenner on her tell-all memoir.

An armored car guard's elaborate plan for revenge is threatened by his relationship with an old friend -- a brilliant and unpredictable television preacher.

James Billie is the charismatic, controversial leader of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, an alligator wrestler, a Grammy-nominated record artist, and the father of Indian gaming. He also sits at the head of one of the biggest gaming operations in the world. And you've never heard of him, until now.
