(LA Times / September 17, 2024) ‘Stopping the Steal’ examines Trump’s attempt to subvert 2020 election, and what it means for 2024
Getting folks to watch a documentary about the Big Lie is a Big Ask. Who wants to relive that horrible chapter in America’s political history, especially while we’re writing a new, possibly less-horrible chapter?
Despite its title, HBO’s “Stopping the Steal” is as much about what lies ahead of us as it is about that other election that put Joe Biden in office and then-President Trump on a warpath. The 90-minute film, which premieres at 9 p.m. Tuesday on HBO, explores the depth and veracity of Trump’s scheme to overturn the election results through the first-hand accounts of the people who were there.

The new HBO documentary “Stopping the Steal” is set to premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 9 p.m. ET and takes viewers behind the scenes into the efforts by former President Trump to challenge the 2020 presidential election results. The film features interviews from former White House staff and appointees, including former Attorney General William Barr, as well as elected Republican officials in Arizona and Georgia.
Recounted in detail by former staff members of the Trump Administration, Republican political appointees, and elected state officials, “Stopping the Steal” tracks the evolution of the movement to discredit the American election starting as early as July 2020 when the legitimacy of the election process began to be publicly questioned. Unfolding chronologically through to Jan. 6, 2021, when an angry mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, the film explores the debunked claims of a stolen election including accusations of ballot tampering, alleged voting by illegal immigrants and deceased individuals, and hacking or malfunction of Dominion Voting Systems’ electronic ballot machines.
As President Trump’s supporters pressure officials in Arizona and Georgia responsible for ratifying the count, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger recalls when he was told to find 11,000 additional votes for Trump, and Arizona Speaker of the House of Representatives Rusty Bowers describes getting a call from the White House urging him to further investigate the Maricopa County vote results despite any proof of malfeasance. “Stopping the Steal” is a clear-eyed account of Republican officials who stood firmly by their principles often at great personal cost.
