It covers the origins of the song and its selection as the nation's official anthem and acknowledges other musical compositions proposed as national anthems.

Moreover, it summarizes famous political protests undertaken during renditions of the national anthem, from the Black Power salutes by U.S. athletes during the 1968 Olympics to the kneeling protests undertaken by Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players to bring attention to racial inequality in America.
