Available on Prime Video, BBC Select
In 2016 Michael Sandford, an unassuming 20-year-old from a quiet British town, attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. At a rally in Las Vegas, Sandford tried to grab a policeman’s gun and shoot the presidential candidate. In this extraordinary film, we hear from his family and from Michael himself and learn how a young man with no history of aggression became a politically radicalized assassin.
