The PennZone

BOSTON & VAL-DAVID, Quebec - PennZone -- Me The People is a feature length documentary exploring how wedge politics is giving rise to a new kind of populist leader. They are disruptors with a new playbook. They are loved by some, challenged by others, dividing the electorate.  But are they also expressing the will of the people?

" When a politician is able to combine nativism and populism, it creates a very, very volatile mix that can be tapped into with incredible emotion…What we are seeing now is a rise in populism due to changing economy, but blamed on changing demographics." " sharesAli Noriani of the National Migration Forum and author of "There Goes The Neighborhood".

" We are thrilled the Boston Film Festival has chosen this film. Though the rise of populism and wedge politics is a global phenomenon, it has come to a head in this time of US election, with the climate of division currently at play. It takes a brave festival to tackle this polarizing issue head on." says Dan Shannon, the film's producer/co-director.

It also highlights the kind of rhetoric and so-called nationalistic policies populist leaders use to pit one segment of the population against the other in order to win votes. " says Isabelle Depelteau, the film's director.
