How to Overthrow the US Government (Legally)

About This Movie

How to Overthrow the US Government (Legally) is a curious blend of humor and earnestness. Zahedi and Servin offer this unfiltered glimpse into political activism through an unconventional lens. The pacing feels almost organic, as interactions between students and teachers unfold, revealing layers of both absurdity and sincerity. It’s refreshing to see such candid discussions about change, underscored with moments of genuine connection. Visually, it’s simple, relying on real-life settings that ground the more outrageous claims. The performances aren’t polished, but that’s part of its charm; you really feel the awkwardness and authenticity. It’s distinct for its approach—turning an educational experience into something that's as much about personal relationships as it is about political theory.
