Tuesday, October 21, 2:00 pm at Desert Garden UCC, Sun City West, AZ

Reclaim the Flag is a bold and timely documentary that explores how the American flag—once a symbol of unity—has become a contested emblem in today’s cultural landscape. Through deeply personal stories and historical insight, the film invites viewers to reflect on what the flag means across different communities. One of the film’s most powerful threads highlights the LGBTQ+ experience, examining how queer Americans have both challenged and embraced national symbols in their fight for recognition, rights, and belonging. From Pride flags flying alongside Old Glory to protests that reimagine patriotism, Reclaim the Flag amplifies voices that have often been left out of the national narrative.

Whether you're passionate about social justice, civic dialogue, or simply curious about how symbols shape identity, this documentary offers a compelling lens into one of America’s most iconic emblems. Watch Reclaim the Flag and join the conversation at Desert Garden UCC, Sun City West. It’s not just about reclaiming a symbol—it’s about reclaiming the promise it represents.
