Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016 came as a surprise to many.

A Campaign of Their Own tells a different history. By focusing on the defeat of Bernie Sanders from the point of view of his most fervent supporters, the film is a deep immersion into a populist-political movement that was neglected by the media. By plunging into the subject, the filmmakers discovered an ever-widening fault line within the Democratic Party and the beginning of a nationwide resistance movement that continues today.
