Director Michael Premo spent months trailing his subjects Chris , Thad and Randy in the run-up to the attack on the Capitol building of 6 January 2021 .

The film looks back at a dark period of recent US history, but also warns of further unrest.

Homegrown premieres at this year ’s Venice film festival.

The film chooses to cross-cut Quaglin ’s journey with that of Thad Cisneros , a charismatic Latino activist from Texas .

He represents an increasingly fractured and muddied political landscape, one in which the old left-and-right stereotypes no longer apply.
