"Against All Enemies" Investigates the Threat of Radicalized Military Vets

Description
Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Charlie Sadoff, the director of a documentary called "Against All Enemies," which explores the critical role of military veterans in domestic violent extremist groups.   Through gripping personal perspectives from all sides of this ongoing crisis, "Against All Enemies" goes deep inside the violent extremist movement in America, alongside the Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, and with never-before-seen footage of the Oath Keepers. These groups, organized and led by highly trained military veterans, pose one of the greatest threats to the United States today.   The film explores the historical roots of the insurrectionist cause, its conspiracy-fueled draw for today’s veterans, and the ways that coming powerful politicians, like Donald Trump, and highly decorated former military officers, like former general Michael Flynn employ disinformation to manipulate these former vets.   Charlie Sadoff is a producer, director and editor. Documentaries he has produced include The Mind of Mark Defriest which aired on Showtime, Dream Riders for Discovery, and the 10-part series The Rites of Autumn for ESPN.
