A Local Brewery “Dumped Trump” and Now You Can Support the Documentary About It
This film has relevance regardless of who is in power. At its core, this is a film about freedom of expression, and perhaps more specifically, the right to peaceful or nonviolent protest. These rights are absolutely vital to a functioning democracy. In this case, the 5 Rabbit team was protesting Donald Trump, a direct response to his words about Mexicans and other immigrant communities during his 2015 presidential announcement speech, but the importance of their protest goes far beyond this one case—it shows the power of peaceful, nonviolent protest and how a series of what some would consider small actions can spark an important national conversation.Jenkins projects that that film will run about 35 minutes; as the team at One City Films (Jenkins, plus director Jason Polevoi and cinematographer Teddy Wachholz) put the finishing touches on the doc, they've created a Kickstarter to generate the final funds needed to get to picture lock and start submitting the film to festivals. Just about halfway through the campaign that ends on September 14, the project is already more than 50% funded. An ordinary person may not be able to do much to hold this administration accountable for its despicable actions, but throwing a few dollars behind a story of a beer-making David who stood up to an orange-skinned Goliath is a good start.
