Extremism In America

The Order

Season 01  Episode 1

In the 1980s, white supremacist and antisemitic groups were spreading and organizing, driven in part by fears that an increasingly diverse population was about to displace white Americans. That environment led to the formation of The Order. Inspired by the white supremacist novel The Turner Diaries, The Order declared war on what they called the “Zionist Occupied” government.
