American Radical takes us back to the 2021 Capitol attack, following the path of Roseanne Boyland, who died at the Capitol in the middle of a crowd trying to force its way past a police line. We start in Roseanne’s hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia, a place Roseanne, who hated politics, rarely left. MSNBC journalist Ayman Mohyeldin, an old high school friend of Roseanne’s brother-in-law, traces the last six months of Roseanne’s life and her path toward radicalization, taking in clues from conspiracy theory YouTube videos, reports from medical examiners, and conversations with the people who loved Roseanne, all in an effort to figure out exactly how and why she died on January 6.
