JBFC: Frederick Wiseman’s America: Monrovia, Indiana
Monrovia, Indiana explores a small, rural town in the American midwest and illustrates how values like community service, duty, spiritual life, generosity, and authenticity are formed, experienced, and lived, along with conflicting stereotypes. The film gives a complex and nuanced view of daily life in Monrovia and provides some understanding of a way of life whose influence and force have not always been recognized or understood in the big cities on the east and west coasts of America.
