There’s a new documentary short that was just released that focuses on a business right here in Milwaukee County, and on the lives of the many people working there.
That business is Eder Flag, the largest manufacturer of flags and flagpoles in the nation, located in Oak Creek. Through this documentary — The Flagmakers, now streaming on Disney+ — you get to know the people who make these flags, many of whom are immigrants and refugees. It’s an American story. It’s a Milwaukee story.
