Making The Film
Director's Statement
In December of 2020, I encountered a sea of Trump supporters on one side of the street and an army in black block on the other, facing a wall of police and threats of arrest. Antifa, as they are called, struck me as a nameless, faceless group with deep beliefs, committed to acting on them no matter the risks. I convinced a core group to allow me complete access for several weeks—which turned into four months. Inside Antifa is a roller coaster ride in visceral, street level political action told in their own words.
They are faceless. They are nameless. They are feared and hated. And they make no apologies. Antifa is notorious for their radical and often divisive tactics - but what’s it really like to be a member of this anti-fascist movement? In the weeks surrounding the 2021 Inauguration, a group of Antifa members allowed one filmmaker full and unprecedented access, as they worked to forge the type of society they want to live in.
