How to Overthrow the US Government (Legally)

How to overthrow the US government? What to do to stop Donald Trump from turning the United States into the Fourth Reich? Legally, of course. This is the subject of an academic course run jointly by the director Caveh Zahedi and the activist Jacques Servin. Lacking substance, one seminar after another proves to be devoid of a plan; they’re largely wasted on ad hoc nonsense. There’s no indication of the fact that the fire of revolution that will spread to the rest of the country is going to be ignited in their dark room. Even so, something radical finally happens: the young man and his two guardians become closer. After empathy comes solidarity. This is precisely how great political changes begin: with interpersonal understanding. Zahedi, who is both one of the protagonists of the documentary and its creator, shows a pedagogical process without pathos, but with a discreet and tender sense of humor.
