Homegrown

Directed by Michael Premo
United States 2024
Runtime 109'

Homegrown is an unflinching chronicle of Americans at war with each other. Three right-wing activists—a newly politicised father-to-be in New Jersey, an Air Force veteran organising conservatives in New York City, and a charismatic activist from Texas—crisscross the country in the summer of 2020, campaigning for Donald Trump and building a movement they hope will outlast him. When they become convinced that the election is stolen, they take their fight to the streets. The result is a chilling portrait of a growing movement pushing American democracy to the brink.
