Street Battles in America

Available for over a year

This year has seen a sharp rise in the number of confrontations in America between far right white supremacists and a group known as antifa – the anti fascists. White nationalists will claim their fight is to defend the first amendment and protect the right to free speech but their opponents believe it’s an excuse to promote often racist ideologies. A fight that lived online between the two groups has now seen itself being played out on the streets in America in traditionally liberal towns like Berkeley, California and Portland, Oregon. But who is winning and what are they fighting for? Presenters: Mike Wendling and Anisa Subedar (Photo: Women at Protest, Credit: BBC) Producer: Anisa Subedar
