#2 What Does Contemporary Extremism Look Like?

In this episode, we speak with Daniel Lombroso, journalist and filmmaker at The New Yorker. We discuss the dramatic emergence of the 'alt-right' as documented in his critically acclaimed 2020 debut film, White Noise: Inside the Racist Right. Topics include the entrepreneurial nature of contemporary extremism, the ethical dilemmas of covering extremist movements, and the gendered dimensions of extremism experienced by Lauren Southern, the Canadian protagonist of his film.
