The Swamp is a documentary film that explores the workings of Washington politics from the perspective of three Republican Congressmen: Matt Gaetz of Florida, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Ken Buck of Colorado. The film takes a behind-the-scenes look at how these three "renegade" lawmakers bring a combination of libertarian and conservative viewpoints to Congress, as they work to advance President Trump's agenda of "draining the swamp."
The film provides an inside view of the day-to-day life of these Congressmen, including their interactions with fellow lawmakers, staff, and lobbyists. It also delves into their efforts to pass legislation, often facing opposition from both parties.
Throughout the film, the Congressmen are shown taking a stand on a range of issues, including immigration reform, criminal justice reform, and government spending. They are also shown questioning the motives of their colleagues and the influence of special interest groups in Washington.
The Swamp offers a unique perspective on the workings of Washington politics, highlighting the challenges faced by those who seek to bring a fresh perspective to the entrenched political system. It also offers a glimpse into the future of the Republican Party, as a new generation of lawmakers challenge the traditional conservative orthodoxy.
