What would a Black, progressive artist be doing at the January 6th insurrection? Filmmaker Michael Premo spent years documenting the lives of men involved in far-right movements, including the attack at the capital, for his documentary “Homegrown.” Our globalized world has become, in many ways, more narrow. So, what makes someone leave their cushy echo chamber and venture into parts unknown? There is a real emotional risk and, in Michael’s case, a real physical risk. In this episode, he tells host Sabrina Merage Naim how he forged relationships with his subjects, what he learned from making the film, and his feelings about the state of American politics now.
