... are Nazis lol "oh she's making it all about herself" the title is *meeting the enemy* you Idiots it's not just a movie about them it's about her attempts to interact with them and those interactions in which a brown Muslim woman can break through to some of the worst people is what makes it worth the watch.. haters gonna hate but this is worth watching for anybody interested in the subjects and their motivations.
I have often wondered what the men and women among these "alt right" movements think, and why they think it. This documentary had ample
opportunity to get answers to questions that millions of people want to know. But the interviewer makes it all about herself. She presents each question in a biased manner. She also fails to ask the questions in a manner that will leave the interviewee in a comfortable place for them to give the answer. Part of being an interviewer is to leave yourself out of the equation. The interviewer in this documentary spends too much time attempting to TELL these "alt right" activists, instead of giving them the floor and letting them either tell the world what we already (think) we know, or telling us something that we did not know. If you're going to do a documentarty like this, the audience should learn something. I learned nothing from this. These "alt right" people are messed up, and they have fractured childhoods and histories, but this is information that we already knew or assumed, just judging by their actions. A better watch would be someone who goes undercover into one of these factions, to see what they do when they aren't aware of cameras
I am 5 minutes into this documentary and already have the chills. I am here to listen
This documentary is not so much about ideology, racism and nationalism. It's about us and why we believe, think and do the things we do. I thought it was touching and made me rethink some of the things I thought about far right radicalism. This extends to my hatred of radical Islam. Key word HATE. We need to stop with extremism in any form and try to understand each other. The negative reviews say that the interviewer put the subjects in awkward or uncomfortable positions... that was the whole point and it proved to make them think and empathize. Let's all just stop, think and empathize. Wonderful film. Maybe there's hope for us ALL after all.

Deeyah Khan did something with this film that I didn't think could be done. She reached out to some of the most vile, violent despicable members of the far right as a woman of color and as a Muslim. She reached them and befriended some of them. She put herself in the belly of the beast and she was able to discuss their racist ideas. She challenged them with questions, and, in the process, some of them changed their minds.
Excellent documentary. Courageous work.
