KING OF THE APOCALYPSE takes us into the heart of the American militia movement with Dakota Adams, the de-radicalized son of Stewart Rhodes – founder of the Oath Keepers who is now serving 18 years in prison for his role in the January 6 United States Capitol attack in 2021. With exclusive access to Rhodes, and framed by the unique perspective of his estranged family, we tell the story of the enigmatic militant leader’s origins, his turbulent family life, and his descent into paranoia and extremism.<br /> With Rhodes in prison, even more radical militia leaders are emerging, such as Mike Dunn of the Boogaloo Bois, who believes that January 6 was just a dress rehearsal for the real civil war that's coming. Mike is the antithesis of gentle Dakota. While one young American claws his way out from extremism, we watch the other being sucked deeper in. As we immerse ourselves in their ideas and beliefs, we reveal the underpinnings of political violence and gain essential insight into where America could be heading.

Are there any such thing as miracles? Mickey McGuigan, a lively 73 year old farmer turned writer, has been documenting those he’s come across, along the Northern Irish border.<br /> <br /> The stories may defy logic, but people swear by them. This is a disappearing world of pagan folklore and magic.<br /> <br /> There’s a man who cures cows that suffer from ringworm, by just spitting on them and then there's a woman who can heal babies screaming with the colic by tying a piece of string.<br /> <br /> One healer has a six month waiting list because people believe he can cure anything, even cancer.<br /> <br /> A film that explores the thin line between faith and doubt.
