One man. One flag. A movement that is sweeping a nation.
Flagman is an intimate and observational documentary that follows a man known simply as "Flagman" — who began by quietly hanging Union Jack flags across Britain and has since built a growing team dedicated to the same cause.

The story
A closer look.
What started as a solitary personal act has evolved into a nationwide movement promoting British pride and unity. Some see him as a symbol of unity and pride, while others view his actions as more divisive.
With a curious and non-judgmental lens, the film spends time with Flag Man and the people around him — exploring themes of patriotism, and what it means to stand for something larger than yourself in an increasingly polarized country.
