A detailed account of the 2016 standoff between protesters occupying Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and federal authorities. After a call to arms went out via social media, the Malheur occupiers quickly bolstered their numbers with a stew of right-wing militia, protesters, and onlookers. What began as a protest to condemn the sentencing of two ranchers quickly morphed into a catchall for those eager to register their militant antipathy toward the federal government. What draws Americans to the edge of revolution? A discussion will be facilitated after the movie.
