Part 1 (S01E01)

Filmmaker Raoul Peck embarks on a journey to shed light on the deep-seated threads of hatred and prejudice woven throughout history. He examines the United States' role as a colonial force, tracing the origins of institutionalized racism, the Nazi agenda of “elimination” and its Western roots, as well as the exploitation of Africa under a façade of a “gentlemen’s agreement.” Peck's exploration reveals the complex connections that have shaped societal attitudes and actions across different eras.
