Undercover: Exposing the Far Right

This thrilling film goes undercover with the UK’s leading antifascist group on a secret investigation. Hidden cameras reveal how far right activists radically shift mainstream politics, how communities are targeted and how a new generation of media-savvy influencers are using discredited “race science” to legitimise prejudice. They also discover a million-dollar money trail to Silicon Valley. Filmed over the two years leading up to 2024’s riots, we also see the harassment members of HOPE Not Hate experience. After the team have gathered evidence against Tommy Robinson – a notorious British far right leader – they themselves become the targets of death threats and mass hate.
