HOMEGROWN

In the organizer's words:

Documentary - US 2024 - 109' - OF

Director: Michael Premo

Who are the people who support Donald Trump, even with violence if necessary? HOMEGROWN follows three of them, an Air Force veteran in New York, an expectant father with a frightening collection of weapons in New Jersey and a charismatic Texan who is trying to harness the local Black Lives Matter movement for his own ends. The film ends with dramatic images of the storming of the Capitol, the camera always close to one of the protagonists. A stunned movie that could hardly be more urgent.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
