Stars & Bars is about Manny, a former motocrosser, who brings his 8-year-old daughter back to his central Pennsylvania hometown for the 95th birthday of Lil, the town matriarch. He uncovers even more hardships and decline than he remembered, and reconnecting with his former love, Bud, leads to unforeseen scrutiny. The film goes beyond capturing a fleeting glimpse of a forgotten America; it’s a glimpse into the long-standing pride and heritage of the region.

The film pays homage to the service of our WWII veterans and our local family-run businesses and institutions.
