109 Mins | 2024 | Australian Premiere | United States | Director: Michael Premo | Documentary | Feature | Feature Documentary Competition | Q&A | World DocumentaryThree alt-right men push America to the brink after Trump’s 2020 defeat.
Homegrown arrives fresh from its debut in competition at the Venice Film Festival's Critics' Week, presenting a raw and unfiltered verité documentary that delves into the lives of three alt-right men in the United States who are fiercely committed to seeing Donald Trump re-elected in 2020.
The film introduces three men from different walks of life: a soon-to-be father in New Jersey who has recently become politicised, a New York City army veteran organising conservatives, and a father in Texas deeply entrenched in Trump’s movement. When Trump loses, their belief that the election was stolen drives them to radicalise further. The film culminates in one man's participation in the January 6th Capitol insurrection, capturing the shocking scenes of that day.
Directed by Michael Premo, Homegrown offers a disturbing and rare glimpse into the mindset of these individuals. The film serves as a stark reminder of the perilous consequences of unchecked extremism and the very real threat it poses to American democracy.
