I TOOK A LEFTIST TO A RIGHT WING PROTEST

Details

synopsis

This investigative documentary explores the reality of modern political polarization, forcing a leftist and a conservative out of their echo chambers and into rival protests on one of the most volatile policing days in recent British history.

Ben Zand takes leftist influencer Tilly Middlehurst and conservative influencer Zion Zachary into enemy territory, protests they would never normally attend, to see if crossing the political divide can actually bridge the gap, or if it will just end in chaos.
