There’s an interview at The Daily Signal with the two
producers of Capitol Punishment. You’ll
remember Nick Searcy from the film Gosnell,
or in Cast Away as Tom Hanks’s
buddy. I was not familiar with Chris
Burgard’s work. Robert Bluey, executive editor of The
Daily Signal, is the interviewer.
The full transcript is disturbing and devastating. Our household plans to watch the film online over
the weekend. For now, here’s the
conclusion of the interview with links to the film itself (online @ $9.99):
Movie ‘Capitol Punishment’ Tells Stories
You Won’t Hear From Jan. 6 Committee
Searcy: Well, to be
honest, I must say, at the beginning I was reluctant because I was scared. And
so many of the people that we talk to, we interview a number of people in the
movie, but there’s an equal number, if not more, that were afraid to speak to
us.
Because when you see the way the government is treating these
people, it makes you wonder, “Is it worth it?” But as we kind of got going, and
Chris and I, “OK, we’re going to make this movie,” and we started talking to
people as it went on, it became something that I knew I had to do. We had to
finish this. We had to see it through. …
I’ve always said from the beginning, even if you disagree with us, please, would you just please watch this movie and tell me if you think this is the way Americans should be treated, no matter what side they’re on.
Even if they were there protesting a Republican president, do you think this is correct? Do you think this is the way our government should operate? And a lot of the problem that we have is a lot of people on the left, they’re afraid to look at it. They don’t want to see the movie. They call it propaganda. They’re just afraid to look at something that might disturb their worldview.
But I really believe that if more people will confront the truth of what happened about Jan. 6 and see through the government’s lies, we’re all going to be better off for it. We can still save this country, but people have to confront the truth of what is actually happening right in front of their faces.
