The Brink is a documentary film that follows Steve Bannon after he is forced out of his White House post and takes his message of economic nationalism and "America first" overseas. The film provides a behind-the-scenes look at Bannon's efforts to mobilize and unite populist parties and movements in Europe, including support for far-right politicians and their campaigns.
Directed by Alison Klayman, the film showcases Bannon's provocative and unapologetic style as he meets with European politicians, including Marine Le Pen of France's National Front, Matteo Salvini of Italy's Lega Nord party, and Viktor Orban of Hungary's Fidesz party. The film also includes interviews with Bannon's critics, who accuse him of promoting racism and white nationalism.
Throughout the film, Bannon discusses his views on immigration, globalization, and the future of politics, while offering commentary on current events, such as the #MeToo movement and the refugee crisis. The Brink provides an intimate and insightful portrait of an influential figure in modern politics, who continues to shape the global political landscape.
