Downing of a flag [videorecording] : the story of a symbol that has haunted American democracy for over 150 years / produced by Don Godish, Scott Galloway, Duane Cooper ; written and directed by Scott Galloway.

Cooper, Duane, (television producer.). Galloway, Scott, (television director,, television producer,, screenwriter.). Godish, Don, (television producer.). PBS Distribution (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary:

A documentary film that focuses on the Confederate Battle flag and its impact on the people, politics, and perceptions of South Carolina and beyond. Through firsthand interviews featuring various perspectives and a wealth of historical footage, Downing of a Flag traces the symbol's controversial relationship with the Palmetto State, exploring its true meaning and how an unspeakable tragedy catalyzed its long-debated removal. The story begins with the end of the Civil War and chronicles the flag's more than a 150-year journey from the blood-soaked battlefields of Virginia to its use in American popular culture in the 1970s and 1980s, to its final removal from the South Carolina State House grounds in July 2015. Preceded by the killing of nine black parishioners at Charleston's historic Mother Emanuel AME Church by a white supremacist, the Confederate Battle flag's furling and the days and actions that led to that event could represent the final shots and battles of the American Civil War.
