Michael Premo,
United States,
2024,
(109 mins)
Closed Captioned
Brooklyn filmmaker Michael Premo follows three impassioned right-wing activists through the 2020 election, the January 6 Capitol riot, and beyond. With unexpected nuance and intimacy, he captures his protagonists’ combustible blend of delusional cosplayer, stalwart patriot, and potential threat. January 6 isn’t the film’s climax, surprisingly, but a turning point in its protagonists’ political and personal evolutions.
