Overview

• The newly released trailer provides a first look at Nick Offerman as Jerry Kane and Jacob Tremblay as his son Joe embracing the Sovereign Citizen movement.
• Offerman’s character is shown training with firearms and delivering impassioned speeches against government authority without revealing key plot resolutions.
• 'Sovereign' marks writer-director Christian Swegal’s latest project after its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 8 and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 11.
• The film traces the real events that led to the Kanes’ deadly 2010 shootout with Arkansas police and explores the consequences of radical anti-government beliefs.
• Some commentators have raised concerns that the movie’s sympathetic portrayal of the Kanes could blur the line between storytelling and extremist propaganda.
