AGAINST ALL ENEMIES (104 MIN)                        

Charlie Sadoff | USA | 2021 | Doc | Boston Premiere

Why would US military veterans take up arms against the country they swore an oath to protect?

Against All Enemies explores the roots of political radicalization and its impact on democracy. Going deep inside violent extremist groups in America, with members of the Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, and the Oath Keepers we learn that they are organized and led by highly-trained, highly-motivated military veterans – posing a great threat to the United States today. And while most veterans are successful in their transition to civilian life, after the longest wars in our nation’s history an increasingly radicalized element has been drawn into the insurrectionist movement.

Against All Enemies is a powerful film that encourages us to consider our responsibility and how we can safeguard our democratic systems and prevent the spread of extremist ideologies.

Premiered at Tribeca Film Festival.
