The film follows 85-year-old Mr. Armstrong, an African American barber in Birmingham, Alabama, as he witnesses the fulfillment of a lifelong dream: the election of the first African American president. A veteran of the Civil Rights era, he casts his vote, celebrates Obama's victory, and proudly displays the American flag upon his induction into the Foot Soldiers Hall of Fame. Mr. Armstrong reflects on the significance of this moment, connecting it to past struggles like his sons' school integration and the Bloody Sunday march for voting rights. The documentary explores democracy and patriotism amidst hardship, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance and action to overcome racial injustice.
