THE PATRIOT depicts a Russian child adopted by an American family marching with an American flag. This relationship between birth and American citizenship is a prime example of the "melting pot" of north American society where all who are willing, able and graced with opportunity may forge a new life full of promise and good fortune. An American flair is evident in the contemporary American attire of jean shorts and polo shirt. THE PATRIOT brings to life a classic American image of pride and patriotism.
