Built around footage from Donald Trump's 2016 campaign rallies, this film tracks the rhetoric and crowd reactions that followed him from arena to arena. Cameras catch chants, scuffles between supporters and protesters, and interviews with people on both sides of the barricades, from Trump backers explaining why his bluntness appeals to them to demonstrators describing why they came to oppose him. The film threads in commentary from journalists and political observers who trace a line from Trump's language about immigrants and opponents to specific incidents of harassment and violence reported at his events. Rather than settling for outrage, it lets the rally footage do most of the arguing, cutting between chants of support and shouting matches breaking out in parking lots and hallways. The result is less a biography than a document of a campaign season, built to answer a single question raised at the start: what happens when a candidate's ego and rhetoric run ahead of the crowd's restraint.
