A Man Loses his Sons but Frees a Country | The Patriot

Parallel Quest

Some might say that The Patriot could simply be boiled down to a basic revenge tale, while others may claim it to be a great story on the American Revolution. Either way one may look at this film, it was a big deal when it was released in the summer of 2000. Join in on this week’s episode of Parallel Quest as the guys discuss the simple things, journaling, seafood, patriotic films, and the epic film starring Mel Gibson, The Patriot
