This film, described as an unapologetically patriotic production, \u200baims to \u2062remind Americans of \u200btheir country&#8217;s\u2064 merits despite its imperfect history and current challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Rowe&#8217;s first\u200d cinematic endeavor isn&#8217;t \u2063easily categorized. It gathers elements of documentary with \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eat-pray-drink-lounge-post-publish-the-luke-russert-guide-to-self-discovery\/\" title=\"Luke Russert's Guide to Self-Discovery: Eat, Pray, Drink, Lounge, Post, Publish.\">historical insights<\/a>\u2062 but\u200c doesn\u2019t follow\u2064 a traditional narrative. Instead, it features about \u2062300\u2064 actors who help illustrate nine different \u2063stories. These\u200b stories include\u2062 historical reenactments with \u200ca cast and crew \u2063from Oklahoma,\u200b and scenes set in Washington D.C., such as Rowe\u2019s\u2064 interactions with veterans at \u200cthe World \u2062War II\u2062 memorial on an unplanned visit coinciding with an Honor Flight arrival.<\/p>\n<p>Rowe also incorporated an emotional encounter with a 91-year-old Korean War veteran named Andy Michael at the memorial, \u2062emphasizing the deep human connections to America\u2019s\u200c past and the\u2064 personal sacrifices made for the \u2063country.<\/p>\n<p>The film, which Rowe emphasizes is not a\u200c Hollywood-style production but a heartfelt message from the nation&#8217;s heartland, aims at cultivating \u200ba sense of\u2062 pride and recognition for America&#8217;s foundational principles and\u200c the people who have defended\u200c them. Rowe criticizes the efforts to erase history through vandalism and \u2064speaks against \u2063those who view America \u200das\u200c fundamentally flawed.\u200c Instead, he targets the\u200b film at Americans\u2062 who,\u200c regardless of\u2062 political alignment, cherish their \u200dcountry\u2019s history \u200dand understand \u2063its ongoing development towards a more perfect union.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Rowe\u2063 took to his Facebook page to assert that celebrating the foundational principles\u2062 of America is\u2062 inherently non-political, and important\u2063 for those who value \u200bpatriotism and the sacrifices\u200b made \u2063by their\u2064 fellow countrymen throughout history.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/russdavis\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/russdavis\/%20\"><span>Jack Davis<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 10, 2024 at 6:01am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Asserting that patriotism is not politics, Mike Rowe is releasing a movie timed to the Fourth of July weekend to remind Americans they have something to be proud of.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cDirty Jobs\u201d host, whose film \u201cSomething to Stand For\u201d arrives in theaters on June 27, said it is \u201can unapologetically patriotic movie that gives me, I think, permission to say that in spite of the imperfections of our Founders and in spite of the world we find ourselves in today, we still have a lot to be proud of, we still have a lot to be grateful for \u2014 and we still have a lot to celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not like any other film I\u2019ve seen,\u201d Rowe, whose first film follows a career in TV, books and podcasts, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/lifestyle\/mike-rowe-announces-something-stand-film-celebrating-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrankly, I\u2019m not sure what to call it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a documentary, although there\u2019s a lot of historical information in it, and it\u2019s not a classic narrative. There are probably 300 actors in it, but they don\u2019t really talk to each other. They\u2019re all there to help bring nine individual stories to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The movie contains nine vignettes, shows Rowe visiting Washington and includes encounters with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aaron-rodgers-kicks-off-monday-night-football-epic-display-patriotism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">veterans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The film includes some historical recreations \u201cwith Oklahoma actors and an Oklahoma crew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Join me on Independence Day | Mike Rowe Presents: Something to Stand For | Official Movie Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c_JUGroH5yQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a Hollywood production. This is a message from the heart, and we shot it in the heartland. I\u2019m really proud of that,\u201d Rowe said.<\/p>\n<p>He visited the World War II memorial and came upon an unplanned addition to the film after an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/purple-heart-veterans-given-chance-lifetime-honor-service-vietnam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honor Flight<\/a> had arrived, bringing veterans to D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVolunteers [were] pushing them around. And I saw this guy, 91 years old. His name was Andy Michael,\u201d Rowe said, adding, \u201cHe\u2019s my dad\u2019s age. He was in Korea at the same time as my dad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd he saw some some hard things and and did some hard things. But he had never been to D.C. He had never been to this memorial. Here he was for the first time in his life, looking around at all those stars on the walls and all of those beautiful \u2014 all that statuary\u201d in the memorial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I tell you what, man. You see a 91-year-old man who risked his life a generation ago for you with tears of gratitude running down the wrinkles of his leathery face \u2014 well, if you don\u2019t put that in a movie, shame on you. So he\u2019s in the movie,\u201d Rowe said.<\/p>\n<p>On his <a href=\"https:\/\/mikerowe.com\/2024\/05\/off-the-wall-something-to-stand-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>, Rowe said he was \u201cinspired by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yemen-lgbt-refugees-and-white-supremacy-everything-you-need-to-know-about-bidens-first-foreign-policy-speech\/\" title=\"Yemen, LGBT Refugees, And White Supremacy: Everything You Need To Know About Biden\u2019s First Foreign Policy Speech\">ongoing war<\/a> on the symbols of America, a war of vandalism waged by those who believe the present can be improved by erasing the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the film is not aimed at them but at those who are influenced by them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do, however, believe there are lots of people on both sides of the aisle who are disgusted by their behavior and still love America, in spite of the imperfections of our founders, and the obvious fact we have not yet achieved the \u2018more perfect union\u2019 they envisioned,\u201d Rowe said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis movie is for them \u2013 that still sizeable population who identify as Americans, first and foremost,\u201d he said. \u201cAmericans of all races who genuinely care about our shared history, and understand that even though our nation is still a work in progress \u2014 and always will be \u2014 there are still a great many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/head-of-christian-school-family-get-death-threats-after-school-excludes-lgbtq-students-report\/\" title=\"Head Of Christian School, Family Get Death Threats After School Excludes LGBTQ Students: Report\">things worth standing<\/a> for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheRealMikeRowe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Facebook<\/a> page, Rowe explained why the film is not about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/democrat-thrashed-refusing-lead-pledge-allegiance-says-cant-bring-join-performative-patriotism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">politics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Are you a fan of Mike Rowe?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing political about a film that celebrates the principles on which this country was formed. Nor is there anything political about celebrating the people who have defended those principles over the centuries \u2014 especially those who died doing so,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless of course, you\u2019ve been taught that our country is fundamentally flawed, systemically racist, incurably intolerant, and beyond redemption,\u201d Rowe said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it might make a lot of Americans who share my concern about the collapse of patriotism feel better about the country we call home, and the people who paid the ultimate price defending it.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>In just a few months, the world is going to change forever.
