Grammy Award-winning jazz drummer and composer Antonio Sanchez (Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Get Shorty, Politics, Instructions Manual) has written the original score for the new HBO original documentary series The Anarchists. The show is directed by Todd Schramke and tells the story of “Anarchapulco,” an event that was originally created as a conference held in Acapulco, Mexico, promoting the ideals of pure anarchy. The 6-parter follows individuals engaged in this movement with full access to the drama that ensues as a community tries to live alongside tourists and drug cartels with only the principles of anarchy as their guideposts.Schramke is also executive producing the Blumhouse Television production with Jason Blum (Get Out, Halloween), Jeremiah Crowell (The Last Defense), Kim Kylland, Chris McCumber & Mary Lisio (Worst Roommate Ever), Jeremy Gold (Sharp Objects, Hell on Wheels), James Buddy Day (What Happened, Brittany Murphy?) and Andre Gaines & Allen Bain (The Lady and the Dale). The Anarchists will premiere on July 10 on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
