‘The Last Republican’ Filmmaker Steve Pink Talks How He Went From Comedy To Capitol Hill, And Won The Trust Of Political Polar Opposite Adam Kinzinger
Pink's documentary on Adam Kinzinger was his first.
The documentary offers some key, behind-the-scenes moments as the Illinois congressman, along with Liz Cheney, were made outcasts in the GOP as they joined the January 6th Committee, investigated Donald Trump ‘s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and revealed bombshell details in hearings during 2022. In the documentary, Kinzinger makes clear that he is a fan of Pink’s Hot Tub Time Machine, the 2010 sci fi comedy that has become a cult classic. I couldn’t be less interested in documenting the life of a Republican, because I’m a far left progressive.’ But in really getting to see Adam’s courage in the face of January 6th, to stand up against Trump and his own party, and pay the consequences of that in the form of losing his job and his friends and family members … he was obviously an incredibly intriguing subject.
