PLAY THE TRAILER
FILMMAKER STATEMENT
My name is Matthew Marzano and this is my first documentary. At its core I think Showdown for Sheriff is about the urban versus rural divide in America today. I'm from Klickitat County and Sheriff Bob Songer polarizes the locals as much as any person I recall. When he ran for re-election I knew it was my chance to explore what has lead to the division within the county.
If you liked the trailer please consider signing up for my email list. I won't send more than 6 emails per year and won't share your email with anyone else. I also have social media links below. I'm just getting started and any help spreading the word is greatly appreciated. Thank you, m-

SYNOPSIS
Around these parts, Constitutional Sheriff Bob Songer is kicking up some dust not he campaign trail, "the far left progressives are wanting to turn this country into a socialist country," and adds, "my job as your sheriff is to protect your rights and liberties." Songer is known for refusing to enforce gun laws and mask mandates, plus building a 150+ citizen posse to keep a watchful eye on his jurisdiction. He's been on The Alex Jones Show, Vice, Fox News, and in The New Yorker. Many love him, "He's a patriot!" Many loathe him, "a hero to white power nuts, a Songer future would be devastating, there's no ifs, ands, or buts," sings a 'Replace Songer' campaign. They're voting for Sergeant Garique Clifford who declares, "it's not our job to interpret the constitution, it's the courts job to interpret the constitution."
