No Shark, No Ending, No Problem (Really)

“In good storytelling every character must have a strong desire. Chase’s desire is to be eaten by a shark. She’s obsessed with them to the point of worship, yet she expects one to arrive on her terms, yield to her fantasy. While I’ve never longed to be eaten by a shark, I can still relate to Chase both in the way she contextualizes every moment and in the way she wants to have a transcendent experience.”

America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee

Another patriotic documentary? Seriously. We all know that facts don’t care about our feelings, documentaries deal in facts, and Conservatives hate ambiguity. So it sometimes seems like every couple of weeks another right-leaning, talking-head, fact-based movie is held out begging for our time and attention.

What could possibly make the Centennial Institute’s America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee noteworthy?
