Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Now, you could go eat hot dogs and watch fireworks like everybody else… OR, hear us out, you can close the blinds and have a movie marathon…
We knew you’d see it our way! Now, go throw on some movies that scream, “America!” We have some recommendations:
⚾️ A LONG WAY FROM HOME tells the complex story of Baseball’s desegregation. What’s more American than baseball?
🗳RIGGED, THE VOTER SUPPRESION PLAYBOOK sheds light on the ways marginalized people are barred for equal participation in our democracy. It’s a strong reminder that the American Dream can only exist if it is accessible to all.
🎖SADIE follows a young girl as she attempts to preserve her soldier father’s place at home after her mother begins seeing a new man. The film masterfully represents the families of those who serve in the armed forces.
From all of us here at Giant, happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
