This 22-minute breaking news documentary is an unflinching look at one of the most consequential weekends in recent American history. We gained access to the white nationalist protesters at Emancipation Park and followed the group through the senseless act of terror in downtown Charlottesville and back to rally organizer Christopher Cantwell’s hideaway outside of Virginia.
Since its initial HBO airing in August 2017, the episode has accumulated over 60 million video views across all platforms. Our reporting received significant critical praise for being a pivotal counterpoint to the President’s claim that there were “very fine people on both sides.”
