The Life (and Afterlife) of Uncle Sam
by Matthew Sekellick
Directed by David Girard

Sam Wilson and his brother set out from their childhood home in 1789 to build a business and find success in Troy - all in search of an answer to the question: how did Sam Wilson become Uncle Sam? The Life (And Afterlife) of Uncle Sam is a queer epic tragicomedy about a post-industrial city and climate anxiety, complete with a song and dance.
