Alt-Right: Age of Rage
Relatively recently, a short video from a National Policy Institute (NPI) conference caused a scandal around the world. One of the NPI's leaders ended his speech with the words "Hail Trump!" This was followed moments later by members of the crowd raising their arms in a salute. Trump has distanced himself from these people. The individual who initiated the Nazi greeting was Richard Spencer, a white supremacist, racist and populist and one of the protagonists in Adam Bhala Lough's film. On the other side is Daryl Lamont Jenkins, a black anti-fascist activist who will not rest until American racists are defeated. There is no mercy in this fight. All the more so since the nationalist movement in America has been getting stronger over the past decade. Alt-Right: Age of Rageis a chronicle of protests, resistance and the struggle to prevent pro-Nazi and neo-Nazi voices from reaching a wider audience. The impact of this fight will depend on American society, which at some point became a bit too comfortable.
