US-A! US-A! US-A! 4th July has always been a holiday I’ve never fully got to grips with. The majority of Americans I’ve been lucky enough to know, have always placed a lot of credence on this holiday. Ask most Brits…

Wanted to share a piece I wrote about the 1996 slasher/comedy Uncle Sam.

Didn’t set out to watch a politically charged film but this absolutely is one. It also feels very current.
