The Militiaman

The Militiaman

In the hills of rural Pennsylvania, for a decade, a 48-year-old Iraqi War Veteran and machinist has commanded a troop of private militiamen and women concerned with the government’s infringement on their “rights”. As their out-of-work, ‘near-broke’ leader, he confronts the realities of political change and the pandemic as he feels he must prepare his men for the turbulent political landscape of 2020 while warring with his own conscience.
