Directed by Michael Premo, Homegrown brings raw intimacy and unprecedented access to a political moment still unfolding. Shot across battleground communities and key flashpoints of national tension, the documentary reveals the lived experiences of people whose determination to turn their beliefs into action places them on the front lines of America’s political divide.

The film follows three conservative activists—a newly politicized father-to-be in New Jersey, an Air Force veteran organizing conservatives in New York City, and an activist from Texas—crisscrossing the country in the summer of 2020 campaigning for Donald Trump. When they become convinced that the election is stolen, they take their fight to the streets. The result is a chilling portrait of the growing unrest pushing American democracy to the brink.
"Homegrown" debuted to international acclaim at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it won Best Technical Contribution. Homegrown has since garnered top honors on the global festival circuit, including The Phoenix Prize at Film Fest Cologne, the Justice Matters Award at Filmfest DC, and was nominated for the 2025 Cinema Eye Honors Spotlight Award, recognizing exceptional independent nonfiction filmmaking. It has screened at nearly fifty top-tier film festivals worldwide.
Premo, whose work has long explored the stories that build and sustain social movements, describes the making of Homegrown as unlike anything he has experienced in his two decades of documenting political struggle.“We set out to make an honest, no-judgment study of the people heeding the clarion call of us-vs-them politics,” said Premo. “What emerged is a unique portrait of a homegrown American movement that has demonstrated it is willing to use violence to fight for what they believe America should be. We hope the film serves as a visceral contribution to the discussion on the future of our democracy.”
“This film is not just about a single day,” said Rachel Falcone, producer of Homegrown. “It’s about the forces that led us there, the people who felt called to act, and the unresolved tensions that will define who we are as a country.”
