The documentary delves into the heart of the American right-wing militia movement and traces the origins of Stewart Rhodes – whose sentence for sedition was commuted by President Trump – and his evolution from little-known libertarian blogger to leader of the militant group the Oath Keepers. Featuring rare interviews with Rhodes, the story is told through the perspective of his deradicalized son, Dakota Adams, and ex-wife, Tasha Adams, who share a trove of personal home videos and their thoughts about Stewart’s path to Jan 6, as well as detailed accounts of their escape from his ideology. The film is a Noble Beast and Sky Studios production in association with NBC News Studios. The documentary was financed by Sky and MSNBC Films.
