The Swamp

THE SWAMP, debuting TUESDAY, AUGUST 4 (9:00-10:55 p.m. ET/PT), provides a look behind the curtain of Washington politics by following three renegade Republican Congressmen as they bring libertarian and conservative zeal to champion the President's call to 'drain the swamp,' while facing demands to raise money for their re-election campaigns and the Republican national party. Directors Daniel DiMauro and Morgan Pehme ('Get Me Roger Stone') track Republican Congressmen Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Ken Buck (R-CO) over the course of a pivotal year in politics, demonstrating the breadth and grip of a system that rewards fundraising above all else, plaguing Congress on both sides of the aisle. With unique behind-the-scenes access to the inner workings of the House of Representatives amid major breaking news events, including the Mueller hearing and President Donald Trump's impeachment proceedings, the film presents a revealing look at the core democratic institution of American government.
