#160 - White Right: Meeting the Enemy [doc] (2017)

"A thought provoking insight into the minds of those who espouse a white ethonation above all else. Focusing on the people behind the beliefs, this documentary never veers into lazy shaming; instead it's a neutral examination into the mindsets of those that lobby and protest against multiculturism and why.

 Perhaps the most telling and interesting aspect is those from the more working class backgrounds begin to see the contradictions in their messages, seeing the director, a minority Muslim feminist, as someone who is more than the colour of her skin. The cognitive dissonance slowly fractures, with many calling her a friend and even apologising. 

Those originating from a more affluent background are more worrying - a true us and them, 'I am better attitude' exuding from every sentence. 

The film wraps up with looking at those who have moved out of movement, the common theme being regret over an angry, impressionable youth being sculpted into hate by those with heinous motives"
