Join America's favorite storyteller on an epic journey to the heart of Washington DC. Drawing from his blockbuster podcast "The Way I Heard It," this cinematic tour de force will take viewers to the frontlines of the American Revolution, World War II, the Civil Rights movement, and more. Part mystery, part history -- each harrowing tale tells a story you've never heard, about the patriots who built our country. From the legendary rebels we call the "Founding Fathers" to unknown Marines of Iwo Jima -- these are the Americans who risked everything to build the country we love and call home. The American heroes who gave us... something to stand for!

Something to Stand For is a reminder/plea to remember the people who've made significant sacrifices for their country -- and to perhaps reevaluate our own views on what patriotism means.

The format of Something to Stand For isn’t developed enough to warrant a 96-minute running time.

Rated: 2.5/4

Captivating, enlightening, witty and genuinely heartfelt. Out of all of the films in theaters now, it's the most patriotic and the best celebration of Independence Day.

An excellent reminder of what our Republic once was... and what is still can be!

Truth! Mike also used his neighborly talk (and script) to drive several historical facts that are currently being "cancelled" by the newer generation love affair of Communism. This movie was superior to many other attempts to provide much-needed information in order for those who were kept from understanding the mechanisms of the World's only constitution that gives the power to the citizens to ensure that the government never has the chance to become a tyrannic theft of freedom. God bless Mr. Rowe and those who created this wonderful piece of education.

I would like to see Mike do many more of these movies along the same theme lines. This movie contained several patriotic stories, amoung thousands that could be told. And need to be told! Well done!
