Following a successful premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September and a fall festival run that included stops in Camden, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Hot Springs, THE LAST REPUBLICAN will open for a week-long engagement in Los Angeles on November 22. It will be accompanied by special screenings in New York, San Francisco, and additional theaters across Los Angeles. This vital and surprisingly funny film offers a modern portrait of courage, illustrating that thoughtful, civil dialogue between people with opposing political views is indeed possible.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

Displaying an unwavering commitment to putting country over self, Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger sacrificed his career and personal relationships by publicly demanding accountability for Donald Trump’s role in the January 6 insurrection. Filmed during Kinzinger’s final year in Congress, THE LAST REPUBLICAN reveals behind-the-scenes insights into the explosive January 6 committee hearings while delving into what drove him to take a stand as well as the lasting impact of his decision. 

Comedy writer, director, and far-left progressive Steve Pink (Hot Tub Time Machine, High Fidelity) formed an unlikely and often hilarious friendship with Kinzinger during their time together. Despite their political differences, Pink and Kinzinger’s mutual respect and shared humanity offer a timely reminder that civil discourse is possible—even in a deeply divided America.
