Using never-before-seen footage, Fight Like Hell is an immersive journey into the heart of the January 6 riot at the United States Capitol and the rapidly ascending Stop The Steal movement that preceded it. The true story of January 6 that's never been told.
In a time of deep political polarization, where narratives clash over a “stolen election” versus a “free and fair election,” “Fight Like Hell” offers a compelling look at the events and figures that shaped one of the most significant days in recent American history. Featuring never-before-seen footage captured by state-of-the-art cinema cameras, the result is an extraordinary visual portrayal that immerses viewers in the chaos and tension of that day like never before.“Fight Like Hell” provides a fresh narrative through its observational style, rather than typical interviews with pundits and experts. It presents a seamless chronicle from the November 3 election through January 7, capturing the mounting tension, the prelude to violence, and the media narratives that fueled the day's events. The film explores the connections between influential figures such as Donald Trump, Ali Alexander, Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, and others, revealing how their actions mobilized a nationwide convergence on Washington D.C. on January 6 to “Stop the Steal”.

“Fight Like Hell” invites viewers to critically examine democracy’s vulnerability and the actions that threaten it. By delving into the motivations and mobilizations behind January 6, the film calls on all Americans to reflect on our shared humanity and the imperative to safeguard our democratic values.

Despite being one of the most reported stories of our generation, January 6 remains shrouded in massive division and confusion. Who could have predicted that three years later, Donald Trump would be vying for the presidency again in a neck-to-neck race and would become a convicted felon? The deepening divisions in the country fueled by a persistent "us vs them" attitude hinder a genuine understanding of what truly transpired. Amidst people staying in their media echo chambers, the context and information about the events become increasingly murky. That's why we find it crucial to create an independent documentary, released independently. Rather than relying on soundbites, misinformation, and partisan narratives, our goal is to show what happened. Adopting an open-minded, curious, and empathetic approach, we aim to illuminate one of the most significant stories of our time—one that could profoundly shape the future of America and beyond.
Respect to all who participated in putting this together. Hard to watch as it should be. It's simply the best documentary re: Jan 6 that has been made.
WOW! One of the most intense documentaries I’ve watched in a long time! Editing and music. Great—and scary
This video should be shown on every channel until the election results are announced and brace for impact
I’ve watched way too many documentaries about this. Yours towers over the rest.
This is more than I have ever seen. A very coordinated operation. I find this very disturbing
Many lessons to be learned here. Thank you for preserving the memory of what happened.
This needs to be viewed by every American citizen. What a disgrace to democracy!
Scariest movie I've ever seen.

“With all the polarization in media, we wanted to create a film that takes only one side: the Truth. By showing people what led to January 6th without "expert" interviews, audiences can form their own opinions about what happened.”

“Fight Like Hell does what no other film focused on the events has managed to do: By displaying the events leading up to and including January 6 in a raw presentation without commentary or biased interviews, the viewer is both empowered to make their own judgements and challenged on whatever perspective they may have had going into the film.”
