HBO Original Documentary STOPPING THE STEAL Debuts September 17
Republican Insiders And Former Presidential Staff Recount Attempts To Overturn The 2020 Presidential Election Results
· The HBO Original documentary STOPPING THE STEAL, directed by Emmy(R)- winning filmmaker Dan Reed (HBO's "The Truth vs. Alex Jones"), debuts TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 (9:00-10:29 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
· Synopsis: STOPPING THE STEAL is an inside account of President Trump's challenge to the results of the 2020 presidential election as told by former White House staff and appointees, including former Attorney General William Barr, and elected Republican officials in Arizona and Georgia who resisted pressure to change the results of the vote in their states.
Recounted in detail by former staff members of the Trump Administration, Republican political appointees, and elected state officials, STOPPING THE STEAL tracks the evolution of the movement to discredit the American election starting as early as July 2020 when the legitimacy of the election process began to be publicly questioned. Unfolding chronologically through to January 6, 2021, when an angry mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, the film explores the debunked claims of a stolen election including accusations of ballot tampering, alleged voting by illegal immigrants and deceased individuals, and hacking or malfunction of Dominion Voting Systems' electronic ballot machines. As President Trump's supporters pressure officials in Arizona and Georgia responsible for ratifying the count, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger recalls when he was told to find 11,000 additional votes for Trump, and Arizona Speaker of the House of Representatives Rusty Bowers describes getting a call from the White House urging him to further investigate the Maricopa County vote results despite any proof of malfeasance. STOPPING THE STEAL is a clear-eyed account of Republican officials who stood firmly by their principles often at great personal cost.
