Summary

What is it like to wear a hidden camera among neo-fascist extremists? Or at a rally for far-right groups from across Europe, some with a reputation for extreme violence? In a chilling new C4 documentary Undercover: Exposing the Far Right, reporters from Hope Not Hate pose as far-right recruits to discover how they talk privately, how they network, and how they’re laundering discredited “race science” for a gullible new audience.    Reporter Harry Shukman and director Havana Marking talk to Andrew Harrison about a documentary so powerful it was pulled from the London Film Festival at the last minute due to safety concerns.      Watch Undercover: Exposing the Far Right now on the Channel 4 app now or visit undercover.film to discover more.     We are sponsored by Indeed.
