Trailer and Poster For Dystopian Indie Thriller AMERICAN INSURRECTION

A new trailer and poster have been released for the indie thriller American Insurrection from director William Sullivan from a script he co-wrote with Jarret Kerr. This dystopian tale follows a group of friends who are trying to flee to Canada after a civilian militia, the self-proclaimed “Volunteers,” have started tracking anyone who is not white, Christian, straight, and cisgender through a barcoding system.

The film stars Nadine Malouf, Michael Raymond James, Sarah Wharton, Brandon Perea, Nick Westrate, and Jarret Kerr.

Here’s the full synopsis:

In the not-too-distant future, a civilian militia - the self proclaimed "Volunteers" - are a rapidly expanding white supremacist hate group, that self-polices & terrorizes local communities, using a barcoding system to track the "undesirables". Their purpose? To track, oppress and drive out anyone from this country who is not like them. Desperate to escape the escalating violence, a group of friends hideout at a half-way house near the border of Canada, waiting for the signal to safely cross. Sarah and her husband, Jarret, activists and conductors for the new Underground Railroad, must save their friends Zahabiya, a Muslim woman who lost her family in a mosque bombing, and David, her husband. After months without a signal - the group grows more on-edge as each of them are forced to confront their true identities in this do-or-died dystopian nightmare.

This looks like an interesting premise. I do like a good dystopian story, so hopefully this is a good one that is done well. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch American Insurrection in select US theaters and on VOD later this year.
