The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where Jeremy Hobson interviewed many people involved in the film: directors Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber, Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of the Vet Voice Foundation, former Montana Governor Steve Bullock, former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp, Army Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Alexander Vindman, former Trump Administration Department of Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Neumann, Major General (Ret.) Linda Singh, and Marine Corps Veteran and investigative journalist Chris Jones.
