Louis Theroux meets the young and highly inflammatory figures of the latest incarnation of the American far right: a political movement born out of the Internet but making its presence felt in the real world, including some of those who came to the broader public's attention through the notorious Capitol Hill riots. Louis immerses himself in a growing online community that has navigated the threats of de-platforming to gather a vast audience on phones and laptops around the world, promoting an ideology that is racist, misogynistic, homophobic and anti-Semitic, often packaging the most extreme views as 'irony'. With the movement's most prominent voices having an increasing influence away from the digital realm, Louis attempts to understand their recent surge in popularity and challenges the divisive rhetoric that is being streamed to millions of young viewers online.
