“THE LAST REPUBLICAN” DEBUTS AS #1 DOCUMENTARY ON APPLE TV

Acclaimed film from Meidas Studios and former Congressman Adam Kinzinger captures courage and conviction in America’s divided era

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES, CA — Meidas Studios, a division of the MeidasTouch Network, in partnership with MCDC Productions and former U.S. Congressman Adam Kinzinger, is proud to announce that its new feature documentary The Last Republican has debuted as the #1 documentary on Apple TV following its nationwide release.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steve Pink — whose credits include Hot Tub Time Machine, High Fidelity, and Grosse Pointe Blank — The Last Republican chronicles Kinzinger’s final year in Congress as he faces the personal and political consequences of publicly holding President Donald Trump accountable for the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Producers of the film include S.R. Bindler, Sarafina DiFelice, Jason Kohn, Kevin Morris, Steve Pink, and Chapin Wilson.

Set against one of the most turbulent political periods in modern American history, the film offers a human and often humorous look at conviction, courage, and connection across ideological lines.

“This was one of the hardest periods of my life, both personally and for my family, and the film doesn’t shy away from that,” said Kinzinger. “But it’s not about me — it’s about what happens when doing your job and telling the truth comes with real consequences. I hope people see this as a warning about where our politics are headed if courage keeps coming at a cost.”

The film’s #1 debut on Apple TV underscores the national resonance of its message — that integrity and decency remain vital in American public life. It further shows that in a world where legacy media companies have capitulated to the current administration, the demand for unapologetically pro-democracy content has never been greater — and not only is independent media competing with conglomerates, but beating them.

“We’re honored to partner with Steve and Adam on a film that defies partisan labels,” said Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the MeidasTouch Network. “It’s smart, funny, and deeply relevant — a reminder that integrity and decency still matter.”

Following a successful festival and theatrical run, Meidas Studios is distributing The Last Republican across all major digital platforms and streaming services, bringing its powerful story to audiences nationwide.

The Last Republican is now available to stream in the United States on Apple TV / iTunes, YouTube, Amazon, and Google Play.
