Synopsis by Elizabeth Smith
This HBO program examines how hate groups are disseminating their violent messages and reaching new converts around the world via the Internet. Morris Dees, founder and director of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama, narrates this penetrating video as it also looks at why the Internet is the perfect medium for those who thrive when operating within dark and shadowy places like cyberspace. As a lawyer and popular speaker on the subject of hate crimes, Dees is personally familiar with the far-reaching damage these groups are inflicting with their incendiary websites. Viewers should be aware that some segments contain offensive language and images.
