American Insurrection (2022)

Season 2021 Episode 7 | 1hr 24m 52s

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, FRONTLINE, ProPublica and Berkeley Journalism’s Investigative Reporting Program teamed up to examine how far-right extremist groups had evolved in the wake of the deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally — and the threat they posed. An updated version of the documentary examines where the movement may be headed a year after the Jan. 6 attack.
