Once a symbol of unity, freedom, and patriotism, the historic American flag has now become synonymous with fear for many Americans, citizens whose rights are in uncertain flux.
Renowned designer Alexis Bittar and Academy Award-winning producer Bruce Cohen have created a short documentary showcasing a vast array of nearly 50 leaders and luminaries from the LGBTQ+ community, spanning age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity and profession, to raise a vital question: how do we reclaim the American flag?
The 30-minute short film calls on LGBTQ+ community leaders and trailblazers to share their story of resilience, and honor the rich diversity that truly makes America a country worth celebrating.
From legendary activists Bill T. Jones and Raquel Willis; to RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Symone and the iconic Lena Waithe; to community leaders like Ford Foundation President Darren Walker, the film showcases a vast array of powerful voices, and examines how the flag can be reclaimed as a symbol of unity for all Americans, with a focus on the LGBTQ community.
