The Insurrectionist Next Door (2023)
In The Insurrectionist Next Door, multiple Emmy nominee Alexandra Pelosi turns her camera on some of the people who stormed the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
Pelosi was inside the U.S. Capitol that day, witnessing the events first-hand. Through a series of candid interviews conducted over two years, she talks to several individuals charged with crimes for their participation, in the hopes of having open and unfiltered conversations about what brought them to Washington, D.C., from across the country. She also explores how their views may or may not have shifted since.
The HBO documentary feature has an 83% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the New York Times calling it “compulsively watchable”, and saying Pelosi’s “brisk emotional portraits of Americans are disarming, unpredictable, funny, sad, and, yes, at times enraging.”
