Sovereign
Directed by Christian Swegal
Produced by All Night Diner, Concourse Media
A dark, tense drama about ideological radicalization and its destructive impact on a father-son bond, culminating in a tragic collision between extremism and institutional authority.
Struggling single father Jerry indoctrinates his son Joe into the sovereign citizen movement, teaching him that laws are mere illusions and freedom is something you take. But, as Jerry’s ideology consumes them, they are set on a collision course with a police chief who has spent his life upholding the rules that Jerry has spent his tearing down.
