Undercover: Exposing the Far Right

This is a remarkable film, following for the first time the young undercover "operatives" from Hope Not Hate that infiltrate far right racist groups to monitor and expose them. They have the earnest intent of charity geeks, but using all the tools of spy thrillers, and putting their lives very clearly at risk. There's no bravado here - these are very likeable characters, the hope in the face of race riots and death threats that hang over the film. There's a satisfying exposé of repellant advocates for race scientists (no spoilers), all in all making a very compelling film. It seems insanely cowardly that the London film festival apparently backed out of showing this - for fear of the thugs - but do watch at home - they deserve eyes on their important work.

A very well put together film which follows some extremely brave people from the UK based antifascist charity Hope not Hate. They film undercover, infiltrate the far right groups and disclose despicable and revealing conversations by UK fascists at their meet ups and rallys.

The film focuses in part on the Human Diversity Foundation who are manipulating genetic data in very wrong and evil ways.... ie: scientific racism. They want to use this false data to argue for what they call 'remigration' ( reversal of immigration).

Some far right media savvy tactics are explained. How they feed on fear and disbelief and shift the general view of what's acceptable and normal using the concept of the Overton window.

A film that clearly shows how close the surface modern fascism is. A very educational and gripping film.

This is an eye-opening thriller of a doc, following two modest young men in a perilous undercover operation to expose a far right group. They work for Hope Not Hate, which has been battling racism for years - this is the first time they've let the cameras in. From the testosterone pumped street violence to the monied suits trying to resuscitate race theory, this is a dark and complex world we rarely see. You can't help wondering what the police have been up to while these young idealists risk their lives to expose violent racists.. With their courage at the heart of the film it lightens what might otherwise be a depressing look at the billowing racism from Europe to America. After a summer of the worst race riots in decades in the UK, this is an essential watch.

Love the way the doc is led by the journalists sharing their skills with each other and us. As the undercover journey throws up moments of uninhibited misogyny and racism, the film drops in the motivation behind each member of the team's commitment to Hope not Hate. Their personal stories pepper the thrilling unfolding narrative. They are diverse voices that reinforce the breadth of opposition to violent far right hatred. Their humanity emphasises the narrow mindedness of the fascist groups they are exposing and diminishes their posturing.

This gripping filmmaking shows in real time what positive action looks like.

A brave and authentic investigation into the dangers of the far-right through the undercover work of Hope not Hate.

Filmed over many months with exclusive access to this organization that gathers information about the far right. This film lifts the lid on some of the extreme views the far right hold and that they would rather that the general public were not aware of.

A timely and vital piece that should be seen far and wide. Much of it is shot undercover as senior members of the far right movement show their true colors. From the award-winning documentary director, Havana Marking, originally screened on C4.
