23 MILE
An experimental nonfiction film following Americans during cataclysmic events in the swing state of Michigan throughout 2020-- including the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer-- painting a portrait of a populace that defies media stereotypes. A document of complex discourse, the film forces viewers to question their own assumptions about race, class, social status, and geographical demographics, drawing a surprisingly hopeful human portrait against the foreboding backdrop of societal instability.
