In this critical study of the present threat to American Democracy from the legacy of the Trump Presidency and the violent insurrection at America's Capitol on January 6, 2021, filmmaker Mark Sobel takes us on a journey that spans the ongoing influence of Trumpism in America, and considers possible steps to assure the survival of democracy in the United States. This collection of author essays calls out the former President's unrelenting lies and racist speeches, looking at how they "programmed" the thinking of a large percentage of American voters. The work examines the dangers posed by Trump's party in its ongoing efforts to rewrite history, and suggests that without immediate creation of a new Center-Right opposition party the United States could find herself at the end of an almost 250-year "experiment" in Democratic Rule. Additional topics range from how the world regards the separation of migrant children from their parents under International Law, to Wall Street's alleged subversion of the legislation by Congress to save the homes of 4 million American families during the Great Recession, to how the economic system might be made more fair for all Americans. The author is a Los Angeles based independent filmmaker and a director of numerous movies for Network and Cable television. He has been in post-production for a number of years on a personal labor-of-love independent motion picture, "The Commission," featuring Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, Martin Landau, Joe Don Baker, Corbin Bernsen and Ed Asner. The film's screenplay is adapted from the formerly Top Secret transcripts of the private meetings of the Warren Commissioners in 1964, originally to have remained Classified and sealed until the year 2039. Not a "who-done-it?" but a suspense/drama drawn from the Commissioners' own words, the film is a study of the hypocrisy that takes place behind closed doors in Washington D.C. when issues of Politics and Justice collide.
