Flag Wars

Thematic Class in America Curated by St. Clair Bourne

This cinema verité-style documentary is a fascinating look inside the conflicts that surface when African-American, working-class homeowners are confronted with an influx of white gay home buyers. Captured with the blunt honesty of unguarded moments, Flag Wars shows in human terms the consequences of capitalism and the pursuit of the “American Dream” on the lives of residents in confrontation.
