FIRST LOOK: New Documentaries Coming to FRONTLINE (PBS) in 2021
Summary
The main theme is the pervasive threat of extremism and injustice, evolving from foreign enemies to internal divisions and highlighting the enduring struggle for civil rights and justice spurred by events like 9/11, the January 6th Capitol riot, and racially motivated killings. Key subjects include "axis of evil," far-right populism, white supremacist attacks in Christchurch, the murders of George Floyd and Daunte Wright, and the historical echoes of the civil rights era. The practical takeaway is that true peace and healing can only be achieved by confronting and "telling the whole story" of these events, using tools like technology to bring them to the present and ensure accountability.
