This timely documentary was inspired by the incident in which journalist Jorge Ramos was ejected from a Donald Trump press conference and told by the presidential candidate to “go back to Univision.” The Mexican-born Ramos examines how hate is contagious and sits down with the white nationalists who are emboldened by the Trump campaign. An intimate portrait of our country emerges offering firsthand accounts of Americans who have been targets of hate in various parts of the country and highlights the simmering anger just beneath the surface.
Jorge Ramos will attend the 5:40PM show at the Fine Arts on Sunday, October 16 for a Q&A. HATE RISING director Catherine Tambini will be at the 7:30 PM show on Friday and Saturday for Q&A’s.
