The closing film is a documentary that may inspire on this Patriot’s Day: In A Small Good Thing Pamela Tanner Boll looks for sources of happiness among the working class  in the Berkshire community of Western Massachusetts. As she did in Who Does She Think She Is?, Boll’s colorful footage of American life is accompanied by testimonials. The values of a small community provide insight on how a balance between individualism and a sense of “common cause and humanity” can contribute to a more satisfying life. The people in the film include a livestock farmer, a yoga teacher, produce farmers,  a student, and social worker.
