FREE EVENT & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
What happens when gay white homebuyers move into a working-class black neighborhood? A candid, unvarnished portrait of privilege, poverty and local politics. Flag Wars is a poignant and very personal look at a community in Columbus, Ohio, undergoing gentrification. As the new residents restore the beautiful but run-down homes, black homeowners must fight to hold onto their community and heritage. The inevitable clashes expose prejudice and self-interest on both sides, as well as the common dream to have a home to call your own.
