The documentary 'The Last Republican,' featuring former U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger, delves into his outspoken criticism of Donald Trump post-Capitol attack. Debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film examines Kinzinger's decision to hold Trump accountable for inciting the January 6 violence.

Director Steve Pink aimed to humanize Kinzinger's journey as he defied his own party, emphasizing the universal theme of making difficult principled decisions. 'That part of the story isn't political at all,' Pink told Reuters, stressing its broader relevance.

Kinzinger's impeachment vote against Trump and role in the House committee investigating January 6 led to Republican National Committee censure in 2022. Now a TV commentator, he's endorsing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and is open to a cabinet role if she wins. The documentary also explores the evolving relationship between the liberal Pink and conservative Kinzinger, highlighting the importance of dialogue amid rising political polarization.
