STARS AND STRIPES / by drew stubbs / director / Ogden Museum of Southern Art

Familiar character tropes such as the subordinate love interest and coadjutor sidekick make brief appearances, but the central focus of the video is on isolated white male figures whose ubiquitous stereotypes were embraced and idolized by American audiences. The haunting soundtrack is comprised of Lee Greenwood's iconic anthem, "God Bless the USA," slowed and degenerated to an unrecognizable degree.

Lee monument around the corner was removed in 2017.
