The HBO doc looks at a trio of Republican Congressmen, including Florida's Matt Gaetz, navigating the realities of Washington while professing to help Donald Trump"drain the swamp."
The filmmakers' mission is a complicated one: simultaneously articulating a definition for Washington's "swamp"; trying to explore the sincerity of Trump's mission; pondering whether it's possible for one to work in the swamp without becoming part of it; and touching on ways that, in a perfect world, the legislative branch could still work.
Michigan's Justin Amash, who split off from the Republican Party and became an independent during the timeframe of the documentary, would have been a much more convincing subject, but instead his name is mentioned once, early on, and then never again. Amash, as much as I disagree with his general ideology, is a far less compromised representative of what the documentary theoretically wants to be about.
The documentary that Massie is in fits well with Harvard's Lawrence Lessig, who gives the outsider perspective on how Newt Gingrich destroyed the ideals of Congress and created the current climate of perpetual fundraising, party-over-ideology prioritizing and bipartisanship-averse governance.
