Why We Shouldn't Take Our Freedoms for Granted: Introducing 'The Last Eagle Scout'

I would like to introduce my new film, “The Last Eagle Scout,” a social satire independent film produced in Utah, focusing on how political correctness can interrupt the very fiber of Americana.

Cliff Elliot is close to getting his Eagle Scout award, a promise he made to his late father. His eagle project includes having a flagpole erected at the local Petty County High School. He paid for the project by having flags posted in neighbors’ yards for a year on patriotic holidays.

By the end of that year, the Boy Scouts of America had closed its doors due to bad press from an accidental death at a scout camp. The American Flag has also been banned from public viewing.

The Citizens Taskforce, represented by local congressman Jude Marx (who was paramount in getting the scouts closed and the flag banned), search for Cliff in an effort to stop the flag postings. Instead, Cliff skirts around the “pretend police” in an effort to finish his eagle project and become the last boy in America to become an Eagle Scout… all while striving to live the scout law.

The objective of this fictional film is to experience a time when basic freedoms we take for granted are taken away for the greater good of everyone else, protecting us from ourselves.

The media also becomes an antagonist in this film. It becomes popular opinion judging false accusations that make The Last Eagle Scout a force to be reckoned with. It is a case study on how in a matter of hours a person or organization can forever be deemed unfit in society without having all of the facts.

I produced the film under my small company, Ampersand Films, here in Utah. “The Last Eagle Scout” was made over a two-year period and is now wrapping up post-production. You can expect a cameo from Steven Crowder and Alfonzo Rachel. This film is due in theaters in September.
