The new documentary featuring DLJ is about to hit select theaters on Aug. 17.
โI think there is blame on both sides. You look at, you look at both sides. I think thereโs blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it, and you donโt have any doubt about it either,โ President Trump told a room full of reporters at a press conference following the Unite the Rightย white nationalist rally inย Charlottesville, which resulted in the vehicular homicide of Heather Heyer. Occurring nearly one year ago today, the event was a chilling reminder of the festering hatred of the alt-right that has beenย invigorated by Trump and his rhetoric.
At this yearโs South by Southwest Film Festival, director Adam Bhala Lough (The New Radical) premiered a new documentaryย Alt-Right: Age of Rage, which explores this divide in our countryโone of, if not the first, to specifically look at the tragedy in Charlottesville in feature-length form. Featuring interviews with activist Daryle Lamont Jenkins and alt-right leader Richard Spencer, it explores both sides with more nuance than our President might. Courtesy of Gravitas Ventures, we have the exclusive first trailerย for the documentaryย ahead of a release on August 17.
John Fink said inย his review, โThe documentary focuses largely on the face of the alt-right movement and instant meme Richard Spencer, a University of Chicago-educated โacademicโ quick to call someone a โcuck,โ but barely able to recognize the death of Heather Heyer as a tragedy. The documentary allows its frat boy subject to talk himself into incoherency, propagating the need for a white ethnostate and greeting movement supporters with a โHeil Victory.’โ
