Director Andrew Goldberg‘s political documentary “White With Fear,” featuring interviews with Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon and more has set an on-demand release date of June 3, Variety can exclusively reveal.
Providing rare first-person access to notable figures like Clinton and former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, the documentary explores the decades-long strategy employed by conservative politicians “to amplify racial divisions and white victimization narratives for power and profit,” according to an official synopsis. The documentary also explores how these tactics aim to hurt immigrants and spread Islamophobia around the world.
Additional interviews feature former Trump campaign strategist Rick Gates, former Trump campaign CEO and chief strategist Bannon, The Lincoln Project co-founder Stuart Stevens, New York Times opinion writer Jean Guerrero, “Dog Whistle Politics” author Ian Haney López and former Jeb Bush campaign communications director Tim Miller. Through this collection of voices, “White With Fear” takes on the tradition of classic documentary exposés like 2010’s “Inside Job” and 2005’s “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.”
Goldberg is an Emmy Award-winning investigative producer who has directed long and short-form segments for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” “Live From Lincoln Center,” ABC News and NPR. The documentary is produced and edited by Diana Robinson and co-produced by Eric Ward. Archival producers include Natalie Shmuel, Jessica Dankers and Ray Segal.
The film is being distributed by Area 23A, which recently released “Common Ground” featuring Laura Dern, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson and Jason Momoa. Other releases include “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me,” “There Is Another Way,” “Music for Mushrooms” and “Anxious Nation.”
