Disclaimer: We do not endorse Jan 6, nor its portrayal in this video
Over four years after Jan 6, we set out to understand what life looks like for those who participated in the storming of the Capitol that day. Through our exploration, we met Dan Christmann, a Brooklyn plumber and ex-New York state senate candidate who defied our expectations in nearly every way. He agreed to meet with us in Brooklyn, where we learned what led him to DC that day, why he went inside, and how his life has changed since.
