Following its world premiere earlier this month at the Tribeca Film Festival, a trailer has arrived online for writer-director Christian Swegal’s acclaimed crime thriller Sovereign.
Based on true events, Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay star as a father and son that follow the Sovereign Citizen belief system, who find themselves caught in a tragic chain of events when engaging in conflict with a chief of police (Dennis Quaid). Check out the trailer below…
Inspired by true events, SOVEREIGN is a tense and provocative true crime thriller about a father and his teenage son — Jerry and Joseph Kane (Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay) — who follow the Sovereign Citizen belief system, a deeply anti-establishment worldview rooted in distrust of government authority.
As the pair travel across the country delivering self-taught legal seminars and pushing back against systems they believe have failed them, their journey brings them into conflict with Police Chief Jim Bouchart (Dennis Quaid), setting off a tragic chain of events that forces a reckoning with power, principle, and the limits of freedom.
Sovereign arrives in cinemas and on demand on July 11th.
