About Deadly Standoffs
Each episode of this cinematic documentary series tells the incredible story of one armed standoff, the result of the government’s perceived interference with an individual or group’s way of life. In turns heart-pounding, provacative, and tragic, these stories hold a mirror to the present and offer commentary on the relationship between the government, it’s people, and ultimately the balance of power.
