‘American Insurrection’ is an upcoming movie from Paramount that revolves around a group of friends who are trying to escape escalating violence and oppression after a powerful militia seizes control of the US. The militia is monitoring everyone who is not white, straight, and cisgender through a barcoding system.

The biggest challenge for them is to get through to the heavily-guarded borders​ and start a new life somewhere else. But, that won’t be easy because the militia is doing anything and everything to stop them from passing those borders. The premise of the movie is quite intriguing and scary as well.
