How did we get there?
The afternoon of January 5, 2021, me and two colleagues arrived to Washington DC to cover the last big march in support of Donald Trump. What seemed to be another concentration of MAGA supporters and militant groups to defend the outgoing president and his theory of electoral fraud became the day that shook the world, as his failed efforts to overturn the election results emboldened thousands of people to surrender the Capitol, and then break into it.
That day was the last effort to keep Donald Trump in office, and we had covered the past two months in the streets of DC, Atlanta, or Arizona.
Through never-before-seen footage, exclusive access to the Proud Boys and his leader, eyewitness reports, unreported emails, videos, social media posts, interviews with politicians on both sides of the aisle, and unprecedented access to the investigators supporting the January 6 Committee, this documentary chronicles one of the most important period of United States’ recent history: the 64 days between the election and the devastating January 6th assault on the Capitol.
