The Westport Library and Andrew Wilk present a special screening of White With Fear, a documentary which sheds light on the decades-long strategy of politicians and media outlets to amplify racial divisions and white victimization narratives for power and profit. Stay tuned after the screening for a talkback with the film's director and fellow Westporter, Andrew Goldberg.
Described by critics as “riveting,” “masterful” and “absolutely required viewing,” and in the tradition of past classic documentary exposes such as Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Inside Job, White With Fear uncovers the real-world consequences of manipulative tactics that seek to demonize immigrants, spread Islamophobia, and deploy a cynical and strategic campaign of racist rhetoric with real world effects. White With Fear is a potent journalistic undertaking that unearths the hidden political playbook and key operatives behind these efforts.
With revealing first-person access to figures like Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon, Rep. Jamie Raskin, former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, The Lincoln Project co-founder Stuart Stevens, and other leading experts, White With Fear offers an urgent and eye-opening look at how racial bigotry is weaponized to undermine democracy.
