In 1976, the U.S. government funded one of the most psychedelic short films ever made.

Created by animator Vincent Collins and produced by the United States Information Agency (USIA), the film takes viewers on a kaleidoscopic journey through iconic American symbols.

The USIA, often referred to as the government’s propaganda arm, distributed cultural films like this around the world to celebrate America’s 200th birthday.

Timothy Leary called it “a soul-warming, patriotic-psychedelic tribute to America featuring animated baseballs and hot dogs!”

With America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, this film offers a chance to reflect on where America was, where it is now, and where it might be headed.
