This is Government is a sharp, heartfelt comedy set in the sweltering summer of Washington, DC, where three congressional interns find themselves stuck in the Capitol during yet another security lockdown. With the outside world investigating a suspicious red Camry, the trio is left inside with ringing phones, dwindling snacks, and rising tension. As they piece together what led to this bizarre situation, the interns navigate absurdity, bureaucracy, and the deeper impact of political dysfunction—all while trying to make it to the end of the workday.
