Another Good Documentary by Alexandra Pelosi

This is a mother good documentary by Alexandra Pelosi. Pelosi is the daughter of Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and an acclaimed documentary filmmaker. Her Travels with George is a terrific and humanizing look at George Bush's Presidential election campaign. This one looks at the stories, through footage, and their own words of some of the convicted January 6 Capital Rioters. Pelosi does not soft soap her approach to their questioning, and I appreciate that. This gives you a look at some of the Trump followers and the impact of the January 6 riots on their life and perspectives. The film is intriguing. It is worth watching.

Intriguing

Intriguing in that we get to spend some time ( albeit limited ; more of a snapshot ) with individuals who have been charged with crimes relating to their participation in the January 6th Capital breach.Each has their own life and story , some are more easily empathized with than others . They are all US citizens who were either caught up in ,instigators of or antagonizers in the 'storming of the capital' . Motivations , regrets and personal insights are mixed , offering more insight into what brought each person there and their reflections on that day and the aftermath.The plight of these individuals offers an often sympathetic yet brutal hard look at what our neighbors were involved in and how easily it can happen or be completely avoided .The documentary style can get a bit daunting as it's interviews with person after person without filler or other info pertaining to that day.Collectively it works well enough and isn't too long .It would have been helpful if updates were paired with photos .

Expected to see a shaming and ridiculing of Trump supporters, but the opposite was true

The daughter of Nancy Pelosi (speaker of the house, who was hated by many Trump supporters) made a documentary about these people who stormed the Capitol building.I expected to see a partisan colored portrait, which would ridicule or at least paint a negative picture of all these Trump supporters who now have to face jail time, but the opposite was true. This was a fair portrait. Honestly.Not only was it a fair portrait, Pelosi's daughter made the prosecuted Jan 6 protesters look human and innocent. Most of them really had no intention at all for instigating violence or even entering the Capitol building at all. But they got lengthy jail times of 3 months minimum for solely entering the building.What's further most interesting is the director's amazement that these prosecuted Jan 6 protesters still do wholeheartedly support Donald Trump. Not an inch of doubt about their loyalty, even after all that has happened.Give it at try, this documentary is giving the Jan 6 protesters a human face, which explains the reasons why many folks did what they did. Really interesting watch.
