Gadsden (TV Hour)

By Glenn Brown

When a right-wing border militia tracks down a family of migrants, two men end up dead and a local deputy's investigation into the murders unearths some hard truths about his family, his past, and his country.

Glenn Brown is a screenwriter and director from the suburbs of beautiful Union County, New Jersey. He graduated with a degree in Art History from Princeton University and realized that for the first time in his life, he needed to get the hell out of New Jersey. Subsequently, he co-founded and ran a bilingual news website called The Isaan Record about politics and society in NortheasternThailand. Upon returning to the United States, Glenn investigated police misconduct for the City of New York - a job that led him to interview hundreds of cops, as many civilians, and even, improbably, came with a badge. 

His screenwriting tends toward high-genre - Westerns! Noir! Horror! Musical! - but all of it is grounded in contemporary understandings of class, race, sexuality, and privilege. 

He has been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.
