Undercover is an explosive new documentary that reveals the threat the far right poses to our society.

For the first time ever, HOPE not hate, the UK’s leading anti-extremist organisation, has allowed cameras to follow its team of investigators as they go undercover to expose the new extremists.

In summer 2024, race riots spread across the UK in the biggest wave of far-right violence in the post-war period. But far-right activity takes many other forms as well, all of them dangerous. To understand the threat the far right poses to our societies, investigation and infiltration are necessary. And this is the essential work that Hope not hate does. This organisation uses hidden cameras and research to expose the dangers of extremism around the world and track down far-right extremists. It has confronted the far right, exposed terrorists, and recently stopped a neo-Nazi assassination plot against a member of parliament.

Harry Shukman, researcher for Hope not Hate, spent more than a year undercover to infiltrate different fascist groups. He wore a hidden camera and pretended to be an extremist named Chris. Director Havana Marking was given access to this undercover operation for her documentary Undercover : exposing the far right. Following both well-known and obscure far-right figures across the UK and Europe, hidden-camera footage captures the unfiltered views of some of Britain’s most notorious extremists - people who claim to be patriots but whose ideas can cause division and unrest.

With Blast, we came to the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights to meet Harry Shukman, interview him and understand what he has uncovered.
