Unfortunately it's the hard conversations which are the ones that usually need to be had....
On this very special episode we dive into a story that is simply all too real. It's time for 'Sovereign'.
It's the story of a father and his teenage son; Jerry and Joseph Kane (Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay) who follow the Sovereign Citizen belief system, a deeply anti-establishment worldview rooted in distrust of government authority. As the pair travel across the country delivering self-taught legal seminars and pushing back against systems they believe have failed them, their journey brings them into conflict with Police Chief Jim Bouchart (Dennis Quaid), setting off a tragic chain of events that forces a reckoning with power, principle, and the limits of freedom. Inspired by true events.
At the intersection of conspiracy, mental health and social and legal institutions that are ill equipped to deal with them all we have 'Sovereign' which is a stunning film from first time filmmaker Christian Swegal.
We got to talk with Christian about the origins of the story, getting this load cast together our collective need to be more understanding of each other's journey's and so very much more.
'Sovereign' is in theatres and on VOD platforms now.
