Extremism in America

Extremism In America | Preview

According to government officials, domestic terrorism by white supremacists is the nation’s most urgent threat. EXTREMISM IN AMERICA, from Retro Report and The WNET Group’s Exploring Hate initiative, shows how the spread of extremist beliefs and violence was downplayed for decades by policymakers and law enforcement even as this dangerous ideology, fueled by racism, grew into a potent force today. 

Exploring Hate: Antisemitism, Racism and Extremism is a public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York.
