The Brink - Sull'orlo dell'abisso

This documentary portrayed a very likeable guy in Steve Bannon. Obviously it's biased as much as it can because the film maker is a globalist sympathiser. It's clear Bannon works really hard to try and combat the globalists but it's obviously an uphill struggle because they have their claws all over the media, academia and social policy currently. As they say, they don't have 10's of billions to play like the far left enjoy from people like George Soros. The media fights dirty, they even made the claim that the word globalist is anti-semitic, although that did come from The Guardian, which is conspiracy theory central these days. It's rather like how they have no arguments so they just call everything racist! Great people like Bannon are trying their best and thankfully there are people like him around trying to make the world a better place.

This is ok but if you're interested in Bannon as a subject American Dharma is a much better film.

I think Ms Klayman did a triffic job on this documentary. I look forward to her future work. She let the subject speak for himself - in all his abhorrent, idiotic glory. It's scary to see, but we all need to understand how insidious Bannon and his ilk are.

I'm certainly no Trump-fan (didn't vote for him last time, won't vote for him next time) but you can't help but feel this documentary is a political hit-piece on Bannon by the director. Bannon is an interesting figure, intelligent and well spoken with a keen understanding of politics, and yet the director would select certain scenes which have no informative value, but attempt to make him or those with similar viewpoints look bad. I learned nothing from this documentary. Perhaps if someone a little more intellectually honest made it the result would have been different.

Like many populist supporters hoping for their own identity, Bannon found himself discarded and unable to continue as a hanger-on. Oh well, at least he was able to drain the expense accounts of right wing in Europe (albeit while demoting one of his own staffers of being interested only in the same). This movie has some weak areas, but is worthwhile just for the The Guardian's Paul Lewis' demolition of Bannon, Meloni, and a planted 'translator'. This shows how easily these figures are mismatched against a real journalist even in a rigged venue.
