Right-Wing Extremism: The New Terrorist Threat(2026)

Right-Wing Extremism: The New Terrorist Threat is a documentary investigation into the rising danger of far-right violence across Western democracies. Since 2015, Europe has experienced sixteen terror attacks linked to white supremacist and ultra-nationalist movements. In the US, right-wing extremism now ranks as the top domestic terrorism threat, while in Europe it ranks second only to Islamic terrorism. The film examines case studies of past attacks and interviews former and current extremists, victims, counter-terrorism experts, and militant activists opposing far-right movements. Through these accounts, it traces how political polarization, social isolation during crises like COVID-19, and the normalization of extremist rhetoric in mainstream discourse have fueled this threat. Right-Wing Extremism explores how these violent ideologies challenge democratic institutions and asks urgent questions about the conditions enabling radicalization in contemporary society.
