Emmy Award-winning director Andrew Goldberg’s latest documentary WHITE WITH FEAR sheds light on the decades-long strategy of politicians and media outlets to
amplify racial divisions and white victimization narratives for power and profit. Told by the operatives in the rooms where it happened, WHITE WITH FEAR is an explosive deep dive into the decades-lo ng quest by America’s conservative political machine to amass power by exploiting racial fault lines and stoking narratives of White victimization. Described by critics as “riveting,” 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. Director and producer Andrew Goldberg (Proud To Serve: The Men and Women of the US Army) joins us for a conversation on the state of the American “experiment” in democracy, and how we might find a way to forge a more “perfect union”.

“Goldberg doesn’t speculate, but provides enough glimpses into the country’s troubled history to worry even those who know little of it from elsewhere.” – Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
“Remarkable, & remarkably sad, overview of the exploitation of white person fear to sway the electorate. I wonder if the message will get to the folks who most need it, those being played by the media and political factions that seek power and money only.” – Patrick McDonald, HollywoodChicago.com
“White With Fear is alarming without being alarmist, and I’m guessing few on either side will argue with its messages about the state of American politics today.” – Steven Prokopy, Third Coast Review
“Clear-sighted and well-organized, Andrew Goldberg’s probe into the arson job that is America’s current political system examines the flames that stoked the fire.” – Kat Sachs, Chicago Reader
“Likely to be of the greatest educational use to the people least likely to see it, White With Fear may not tell you much that you didn’t already know. Still, it’s a solid primer in how “dog-whistle politics” have invaded our mainstream.” – Dennis Harvey, 48 Hills
