FRONTLINE INVESTIGATION LEADS
TO MULTIPLE ARRESTS IN THE NEW DVD “DOCUMENTING HATE” FROM PBS DISTRIBUTION
Available on DVD and Digital February 12
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.”
