Generation Hate

About this documentary

In a two-part report, we worked with Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit to run an undercover operation to expose France’s far-right and reveal secret links between violent extremists and one of France’s biggest political parties.

The investigation revealed how members of Generation Identity (GI), one of Europe’s fastest growing far-right movements, carried out racist attacks, made hate speeches and performed Nazi salutes.

We also uncovered how GI activists had infiltrated Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, formerly known as the National Front, enjoyed close links with senior party figures and influenced its policies.

A number of GI members were prosecuted after the programmes were broadcast for a race attack on two teenage Muslim girls in the French city of Lille, which was captured on camera by our investigation team. One activist faces trial for incitement to terrorism.

Generation Hate won a Silver Medal at the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards and was a finalist in the prestigious DIG Awards in Italy and the BANFF Rockie Awards in Canada.
