Loretta Goff takes on
The Sheriff, Grace Sweeney’s film which follows two candidates competing to be elected for this prolific role in two contrasting territories.
With her directorial debut,
The Sheriff, Grace Sweeney neatly distils the often overwhelming topic of divisive contemporary politics in the United States by following the election campaigns of sheriffs in two counties during the midterm elections in 2018. These local politics mirror the national, acting as a neatly contained arena to investigate the broader political issues facing the country, including the increasing polarisation of views, rural and urban divide, systemic racism, and immigration. It is apt that this documentary hit the festival circuit in 2020 when these politics once again took centre stage during the US presidential election, allowing viewers a closer look at how these play out at all levels.
