Documentary Paints Damaging Portrait of Steve Bannon

“After Steve Bannon left the White House in 2017, he tried to turn his bombastic nationalism into a global movement and let a progressive documentarian follow him for more than a year — Arizona to Italy, Texas to France. The result is The Brink, a fly-on-the-wall, cinéma vérité film coming to theaters March 29, and being screened in D.C. on Tuesday,” Axios reports.

Despite Bannon’s extensive cooperation, the Washington Post says the film is ultimately a damaging portrait: “A number of moments seem to make the argument that Bannon’s populism is a pose.”
