FLAG ACT, 10min., USA
Directed by Susana Darwin
Settling in for a quiet evening at home, free-spirited Simone is surprised to hear a knock at her door. Two local cops tell Simone she has run afoul of the FLAG Act, a new law which prohibits the flying of “provocative” flags. Simone coolly defends her right to free speech, including the flying of a rainbow flag. The porch-side conflict escalates, and ultimately the more by-the-books officer is left perplexed as to how he winds up left holding the bag … or in this case, the pole.
