Homegrown
Three right-wing activists involved in Trump's election campaign chart their course from local activism to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This insightful documentary avoids simplifying or stereotyping, offering a nuanced look at hard-core Trump supporters while underscoring the fragility of the current political climate in the U.S. and looming threat of national conflict.
