Bigotry, religion and fake news collide in this 2018 documentary film short.
On April 10th in 2015, the FBI quietly arrested Robert Doggart, a white, 63-year-old Christian minister and failed Congressional candidate after discovering his plans to lead ten men in a terrorist attack against Islamberg, a small African-American Muslim community in upstate New York. Inspired by Fox News claims that the community was a terror training camp, Doggart spent months planning to firebomb a mosque and a school in the village and use assault rifles and machetes to murder the residents.
No national news outlet covered Doggart’s arrest. Despite his ideologically motivated plans, no terror charges were brought against him. One month after he was taken into custody a Tennessee judge released him on bail.
A discussion follows the screening.
