Arlington, VA. – January 24, 2019 – PBS Distribution announces the DVD and digital release of “FRONTLINE: DOCUMENTING HATE,” an in-depth, two-part investigation into today’s white supremacy groups in the U.S. and the violent attacks that have taken place as a result. Divided into two parts, CHARLOTTESVILLE, and NEW AMERICAN NAZIS, the documentary focuses on how each has played a major role in reinforcing hate in America. “FRONTLINE: DOCUMENTING HATE” will be available on DVD (SRP $24.99) and digital February 12, 2019. The program has a run time of 120 minutes.

In CHARLOTTESVILLE, correspondent A.C. Thompson methodically tracks down some of those at the center of the infamous and deadly rally in Charlottesville, Virginia - - revealing that one participant in the violence was an active-duty Marine, and the other worked for a major defense contractor and held a U.S. government security clearance. This part also shows just how ill-prepared law enforcement was to handle an influx of white supremacists from across the country, some of whom had been part of a series of earlier violent confrontations in California and descended on Charlottesville specifically to fight.

The second part of the program, NEW AMERICAN NAZIS presents a new investigation into white supremacist groups in America - - in particular, a neo-Nazi group, Atomwaffen Division, that has actively recruited inside the U.S. Military. This joint investigation documents the group’s terrorist objectives, examines how civilian and military authorities have responded, and shows how the group gained strength after the 2017 Charlottesville rally. In the wake of the 2018 deadly anti-Semitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, this program documents the rise and force behind these white supremacy groups.

Other titles available from PBS Distribution include: “FRONTLINE: TRUMP TAKEOVER,” AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: OKLAHOMA CITY,” and “AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: RUBY RIDGE.”
