“ A startling film ”
“ This documentary offers a bleak insight into the state of the States through the lens of the Kyle Rittenhouse case ”
With unprecedented access to Kyle Rittenhouse, this film seeks to understand how a deadly and ineffective vigilante became a far-right role model.
Crafted from livestreams and disparate archive, this film makes sense of a confusing sequence of events, the motivations of those present and the murder trial that followed.
The Kenosha shootings of 2020 ignited a national debate over vigilantism, gun control and the right to self-defence.
