The Brink (2019)

In the tumultuous wake of his departure as White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon, a divisive figure already notorious for injecting far-right ideology into America's political core, finds himself unchained. The Brink (2019) pulls back the curtain on Bannon's life post-White House, a life unencumbered by official titles but rumored to still hold a clandestine line to the seat of power. With newfound freedom, Bannon transforms into a political puppet master, exploiting his controversial brand of nationalism to engender a global movement. The film traces Bannon's journey through the 2018 mid-term elections, illuminating his maneuvers to rally and consolidate far-right factions, with an aim to secure a foothold in the May 2019 European Parliamentary elections. A former Goldman Sachs banker and media investor, Bannon continually remolds himself, mirroring a chameleon's adaptability. This time, he emerges as the self-declared spearhead of a worldwide populist uprising. Bannon's adept manipulation of media and his knack for self-promotion keep him in the limelight, drawing both headlines and protests alike. His survival hinges on the potent myth he crafts and perpetuates. The Brink offers a compelling examination of this enigmatic figure's relentless quest for power and influence, painting a vivid portrait of a man whose survival is as much tied to his ability to command attention as it is to his political machinations.

The Brink is a documentary movie featuring Steve Bannon and directed by Alison Klayman.
