Watch Online / White Supremacy: Going Under (TV Movie 2016)
Desc: White Supremacy: Going Under: Directed by Phil Lott, Ari Mark. With Veta Adrion, David Batchelor, Dave Behrend, Allen Benatar. Combining reenactments and interviews with the primary players involved, three separate cases in the early 1990s of individuals going undercover to infiltrate and thus bring down white supremacist activities are presented. This documentary posits that such undercover operations are one of if not the most most effective means of stopping these white supremacist activities. The first involves psychotherapist Karen Kearns, whose family was targeted by a local chapter of Aryan Nation led by Mark Thomas shortly after moving to the small community of Huff's Church, Pennsylvania. The threats against them was because they are a biracial family having adopted a Korean child. After contacting the FBI, Karen went undercover for several years reporting back to them of Mark's goings-on as the court appointed therapist for Mark's adolescent children. The second involves who was then ATF agent Dave Behrend going undercover shortly after moving to Alabama with his family, he and his colleague Bart Mcentire's activities to monitor the goings-on of the Aryan National Front, specifically Bill Riccio whose primary job was to align all the white supremacist groups together for coordinated activities. The third involves then military man Shawn Kenny, who at age eleven discovered his single father was a white supremacist and who fell into the life himself as a skinhead. Like many white supremacists, Shawn entered the military to learn tactics that would be useful to further the violent activities of the white supremacist movement. He credits the military for saving him from that life. Shawn's undercover work was infiltrating the Aryan Republican Army in Ohio, Peter Langan and Richard Guthrie of the organization whose primary roles in the advancement of the movement was to fund it through illegal activities, primarily a series of bank robberies. These three stories intersected with the 1995 bombing by white supremacist Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma City. Beyond the risk to their lives if caught in their undercover activities, the three talk about what they did in relation to the unprecedented numbers, not only in the United States but worldwide, currently known to be involved in white supremacy activities.
