THE KID WHO TRIED TO SHOOT TRUMP: ASSASSINATION GONE WRONG

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary, "The Kid Who Tried To Shoot Trump: Assassination Gone Wrong," offers a sobering look into the troubled life of Michael Sandford. The film meticulously chronicles his journey from England to the United States with the intent to assassinate Donald Trump during a 2016 rally. Sandford's diagnosis of Asperger's is presented not as an excuse, but as a crucial element in understanding the complex psychological landscape that led to his actions. The narrative skillfully weaves together Sandford's personal history with the unfolding legal drama, showing his family's struggle through the U.S. justice system. It’s a compelling, albeit disturbing, exploration of vulnerability, mental health, and the extreme actions that can arise from profound personal turmoil.
