Jerry Kane and his teenage son Joseph were men of no nation.
Their lives — and their violent ends — are the subject of the new feature film “Sovereign,” directed by Christian Swegal, who joins us to talk about it.
At its heart, “Sovereign” is also about the fragility of relationships — how bonds between family members, friends and communities can be strained or even broken when extreme beliefs take hold.
It’s a story that resonates today, touching on mental health, gun culture and the risks of radical ideologies that continue to shape headlines.
To tell the story, Swegal spent years going down the dark rabbit hole of fringe movements and even drew from his own experience with a family member with similar ideologies.
“Sovereign” is part of our Through the Lens film series, in partnership with the Utah Film Center.
Join us for a screening of the film on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. at the Utah Film Center’s Black Box Theatre.
A Q&A with Doug Fabrizio and Christian Swegal will follow the screening.
