Included in the competition in the Critic’s Week section, at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, “Homegrown” by Micheal Premo is a closer depiction of the life of three nationalists in Usa Trump supporters, preparing for the infamous assault to the Capitol in Washington on October 6. We met with the director to know more about it.

As a black man, for the director of “Homegrown” Micheal Premo it was paramount in order to be able to make the film being accepted and gaining the trust of the men he was filming: not an easy task.
