A HOUSE DIVIDED (2024)
This breathtaking documentary by first-time filmmaker Jade Sacker, explores the story of two brothers interracially adopted at birth by a white Mormon family, who grew up to become bitter ideological rivals during the Trump era presidency.
​
The brothers rose to prominence on opposite sides of the political aisle, one as a former leader in Black Lives Matter in Utah (before his increased radicalization led to his disavowal by people involved in that movement) and the other involved in the Patriot Movement, a far-right nationalist group of protestors that he later distanced himself from. Their journeys take an unexpected turn as one brother becomes the only Black and only liberal activist arrested at the Jan. 6 Insurrection (an incident that was widely covered, with Sacker finding herself caught in the middle of a media maelstrom due to her presence filming the riot for the documentary).
​
Coming 2024.
