White Right: Meeting the Enemy: Documentary Now on Netflix

Courtesy Fuuse Films: “In this authored Fuuse documentary, Emmy Award-winning film-maker Deeyah Khan joins the frontline of the race wars in America, sitting down face-to-face with Neo-Nazis and fascists and marching with them at the biggest and most violent Far Right rally in recent years. Khan, who received death threats from the Far Right movement after giving a TV interview advocating diversity and multiculturalism, tries to get behind the hatred and the violent ideology, to try to understand the personal reasons why people embrace racist extremism.”

Available to watch on NETFLIX US and UK.

This documentary takes a surprisingly humane look at fascist extremists. Filmmaker Deeyah Khan gains access to a behind the scenes look at the “White Right” and through the relationships she forges actually makes a dent in this hate-fueled ideology–in the end, some even grow to call her “friend.”

  2. One day, if mankind is going to survive itself, it will be debated if this was a work of satire, dark dramedy or an “unscripted“ reality show.

  3. An in-depth look into the reasons why some people are so full of hate…extrodinary documentary…heartfelt ending.

  4. This was a great documentary that approached race and hate in a unique way. Deeyah Khan painstakingly met with various individuals of white supremacy groups. She confronted them with compassion on a human level, which caused many of the individuals to see her as different from the ideas that they held to. In the process of meeting with people from various white supremacy groups, several of the people came to question their views. The take away for me is that sometimes the most powerful way to fight for multiculturalism is to do it within our communities and homes on an individual level. When someone is willing to form a relationship with someone when they are in their ugliest state, magical things can happen. White supremacist can turn to people advocating against extremist groups. I am impressed and inspired by Deeyah Khan’s approach. I think it could be used as a model to slowly turn people towards each other one person at a time.
