Documenting January 6

Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine on showing what happened on 'The Sixth.'
Freelance photographer Mel D. Cole (‘The Sixth’)

On this week’s episode, I’m joined by Sean Fine and Andrea Nix-Fine to discuss their searing look at the assault on the Capitol on January 6 perpetrated by supporters of Donald Trump attempting to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. We discussed how they got their footage, why the events are being memory-holed by embarrassed Republican politicians, and how you can help spread the word about this documentary so people aren’t allowed to forget what, and who, they’re supporting when they support Donald Trump. If this interview gets your blood boiling like it got mine boiling, you can watch The Sixth on your VOD provider of choice. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend.

I just bought and watched this powerful documentary. I’m absolutely disgusted that we have all allowed the news cycles to let this historic moment in history just fade into obscurity and conspiracy. DJT deserves to be in jail with the rest of those traitors he created. Wtf is wrong with us as a nation for allowing things to get so close to allowing the likes of that man being allowed to even step within D.C. limits!

I haven't watched it yet, but will, once i steel myself. In your written intro you say "embarrassed Republican politicians." Embarrassed? No. Shameful, ignominious, disgraced, degraded, infamous, odious, f'ing...better words.

Rented it as soon as I could after hearing this interview. There were details in the timeline I did not understand until seeing this and information hiding in plain sight that left me gobsmacked. It is a riveting, sickening confirmation of the things I saw on January 6th, told by the images and sounds and heartbreak of the people holding the line that day. The rage volume was so high, I am amazed more people didn’t get killed that day. Thank you for highlighting this film, Sonny.

What we need as a culture is vigilante film targeting Jan 6th rioters in the style of Death Wish. Frankly, I'm disappointed Quentin Tarantino doesn't already have it in production.

I've watched it. A truly powerful indictment of the anti-democratic madness created by the MAGA mob and encouraged, aided, and abetted every step of the way by a man who took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend a document he neither understands nor respects.

I am anxious to see this pictorial of the January 6th insurrection. Please add a page for Judge Alito, a Supreme Court member, who not only supported the insurrection, but was willing to issue an injunction to stop the certification of Biden. This is shocking news that was released today. While those who destroyed our Capitol building were the frontlines, there were a host of attorneys, Judges, fake electors, and others behind the scenes that ALL belong behind bars themselves.
