How to Fold a Flag

A film by Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein

An attempt at normal

A hog slaughterer, a young politician, a cage fighter and a convenience store clerk: four young Americans who went to war together in 2003, return home to a country seemingly at war with itself. How To Fold A Flag is a portrait of America today, an evocation of the everyday reality of those who fight projected against the patriotic fantasies of those who send them away so proudly.

Press

“Tucker’s keen-eyed cinematography captures an anxious America, one wrapped in the language of patriotism but unsure of its future. How to Fold a Flag is a moving film that has as much to say about America’s future as it does its recent past.”
