A Campaign of Their Own
Lionel Rupp
2017 - 75 min - Couleur - Suisse

Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States of America came as a surprise to many. What happened? Most political analysts blame Trump’s election on the rise of populism in turbulent times and a growing scepticism towards the ruling elite.
"A Campaign of Their Own" tells a different history. By focusing on the defeat of Bernie Sanders from the point of view of his most fervent supporters, it is a deep immersion into a populist-political movement that was neglected and even ignored by the media, and especially in Europe. By plunging into the subject the filmmakers discovered the beginning of a nationwide resistance movement that continues today.
