Mitch McCabe (Dir), USA, 78 minutes, Western New York Premiere

Director Mitch McCabe in attendance.

Part verité essay film, part political diary, 23 MILE is an experimental nonfiction film following Americans during cataclysmic events in the Midwestern swing state of Michigan throughout 2020-- including the plot to kidnap governor Whitmer-- painting a portrait of a populace that defies media stereotypes.

A document of complex discourse, the film forces viewers to question their own assumptions about race, class, social status and geographical demographics, drawing a surprisingly hopeful human portrait against the foreboding backdrop of societal instability.
