After allowing filmmakers to follow him for a year, former White House adviser and Trump campaign chair Steve Bannon isn't happy about the resulting documentary.
Despite his cooperation, the doc film draws a “damaging portrait” of his efforts in spreading a nationalist message.
“If I had not come on as CEO of the campaign, Trump would not have won,” Bannon says in a preview of The Brink.
Pretty sure the Donald won't be happy to hear that.
From the official description:
THE BRINK follows Bannon through the 2018 mid-term elections in the United States, shedding light on his efforts to mobilize and unify far-right parties in order to win seats in the May 2019 European Parliamentary elections. To maintain his power and influence, the former Goldman Sachs banker and media investor reinvents himself — as he has many times before — this time as the self-appointed leader of a global populist movement. Keen manipulator of the press and gifted self-promoter, Bannon continues to draw headlines and protests wherever he goes, feeding the powerful myth on which his survival relies.
One critic called the film "a damaging portrait," and Variety wrote "the film sees through his hate games."
Watch the trailer below. Arriving in theaters March 29.
