Never before in the history of film has a documentary made its public debut during a congressional hearing. But these are the times we live in. Documentary filmmaker Alex Holder was given free rein to follow former President Donald Trump during his final year in office, news broke last month ahead of the committee’s Jan. 6 hearings. And as you can see in the Unprecedented Trailer below, which includes the infamous January 6 riot in the US Capitol.
Trump, who lost the election to President Joe Biden, immediately claimed that fraud was behind his defeat. As noted in the trailer above, even Trump-appointed judges disagreed due to the lack of any credible evidence. Regardless, Trump supporters arrived at the election confirmation hearing and managed to break into the Capitol while it was still in session. The aftermath of this event continues to play out in the January 6 hearings. But in the following clip, Trump dodges any responsibility for what happened.
Mike Pence, the former vice president of the United States, drew Trump’s wrath when he defied his calls to overturn the election. In turn, Trump supporters chanted “hang Mike Pence” as they broke into the Capitol. In this clip from the documentary series, Pence shows no emotion as Congress urges him to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office. Spoiler alert: he hasn’t.
Holder’s three-part documentary will include additional interviews with Trump, Pence, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and other key figures from the previous administration. Discovery+ will air the first episode on Sunday July 10th.
