A Nail-Biting Documentary About A Potential Event?

Meant to post this a while ago...



"A real-life political thriller set on January 6, 2025, War Game imagines a nation-wide insurrection in which members of the US military defect to support the losing Presidential candidate, while the winning candidate and his advisors—played by an all-star roster of senior officials from the last five administrations—war games the crisis in the White House situation room. They have 6 hours to save democracy as the country teeters on the brink of civil war."

War Game was showing at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre as part of the Sedona Film Festival Last month. Vicky and I made an overnight trip to see it.
