trailed him for a year, beginning in 2017; it was before Bannon and President Trump parted ways, and after Bannon began plans to unite American and European alt right groups under a common banner.

Klayman has written and directed two feature documentaries about artists, “The 100 Years Show” , a profile of Carmen Herrera, and. Her 2018 Netflix documentary, “Take Your Pills,” is about Adderall, the amphetamine of choice for college students. Lewis tries to restore order, and Bannon criticizes him for shutting down the interpreter. “My hope is that the film can be a deconstruction of him,” Klayman says, “and while sometimes it is gratifying to see Bannon challenged, that is a fleeting victory. I agree that what you are watching in that scene is the way he does things — some call it ‘gaslighting,’ but it’s more than that.”

To add to Klayman’s feelings of unease, she received some surprising news a few months into production in April 2018 when Guirgis met with Bannon to discuss his travel schedule: He disclosed, in passing, his interview with Errol Morris for the filmmaker’s own documentary on Bannon,Luckily, Klayman says, executive producers at Magnolia, “The Brink’s” distributor, were committed to the project.
