Bernie Blackout

About This Movie

So, 'Bernie Blackout' is this raw documentary that really pulls back the curtain on how the media shaped the narrative around Bernie Sanders during his 2020 run. It creates this tense atmosphere, almost like a political thriller, with interviews and media clips piecing together a story that feels both familiar and unsettling. The pacing varies; some parts move quickly with frenetic edits while others linger on moments of silence, making you think. It dives into themes of media influence and the undercurrents of American politics. What’s distinctive is its approach—rather than just a typical campaign doc, it challenges you to question who gets to speak and whose voices are drowned out amidst the noise.
