A Family Is Caught in a Government Conspiracy in Trailer for True-Crime Documentary ENEMIES OF THE STATE
A new trailer has been released for the true-crime government conspiracy documentary Enemies of the State that premiered last year at the Toronto International Film Festival. The story follows an average American family who becomes entangled in a bizarre web of espionage and corporate secrets when their hacker son is targeted by the U.S. government.
The doc is directed by journalist and filmmaker Sonia Kennebeck, director of the films Sex: Made in Germany, National Bird, and United States vs. Reality Winner.
Here’s the synopsis:
Enemies of the State is a documentary thriller that investigates the strange case of American Matt DeHart, an alleged hacker and whistleblower, and his former Cold War spy parents who believe they are at the center of a government conspiracy and are ready to do anything to save their son from prison. This stranger-than-fiction true story takes audiences on a wild ride of unexpected plot twists and bizarre discoveries in an artistic and cinematic documentary that blurs the line between reality and paranoia. With extraordinary access to all lead characters and key sources, this film presents many contradicting viewpoints as it attempts to solve a mystery that has kept attorneys, activists and journalists occupied for over a decade.
This looks like a super crazy story, and I am very interested in digging into it. Check out the trailer and poster for the doc below, and watch Enemies of the State in select US theaters + on VOD starting July 30th, 2021.
