JD Vance, the crusade of the vice-president

SYNOPSIS

A political thriller rooted in reality, this documentary traces the rise of J.D. Vance — from troubled Rust Belt roots to the Vice Presidency — revealing the man behind the conservative revolution shaking American democracy.

From the rusted factories of the Rust Belt to the Oval Office, the journey of J.D. Vance, the current Vice President of the United States, fascinates as much as it unsettles. Born from a sacrificed America, he embodies the revenge of the for- gotten, but also a radical ideology. His meteoric rise reveals a national-populism that defies the world order and threatens democracy. He humiliates, he shocks; Trump’s heir promises a conservative revolution. Through unprecedented access and incisive analysis, we unravel the complex tapestry of his personal story and its profound implications for the future of American democracy. Written like a psychological thriller, this documentary explores the story of the man who wants to overturn America.
