One might think the late pop star Michael Jackson and the far-right political operative Steve Bannon would have nothing in common — but both are the subjects of late additions to the 2019 Sundance Film Festival lineup.
Organizers of the festival, put on by Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute, announced the additions Wednesday, just before Utah locals who bought ticket packages start selecting their dates and times on Thursday. (Individual tickets go on sale to locals next Thursday, Jan. 17, starting at noon.)
“The Brink,” debuting in the Documentary Premieres category, follows Bannon in his days after leaving Donald Trump’s White House, as self-appointed leader of the “populist movement,” spreading a hardline anti-immigration message across America and around the world.
