Last updated

Undercover: Exposing the Far Right is a documentary film directed by Havana Marking and aired on Channel 4. [1] [2] It reports on Hope not Hate journalists Patrik Hermansson and Harry Shukman's secret investigations into far-right groups in the United Kingdom. [3] [4] [5]

The documentary includes images from hidden cameras that Hermasson and Shukman used to film far-right gatherings. Among the far-right activists filmed by them are politician/pipe fitter Nick Scanlon, who is recorded using racial slurs related to Black people, and eugenicist Emil Kirkegaard. Human Diversity Foundation founder Matt Archer was also filmed. [3]

Amid the far-right riots in Southport, the movie was pulled from the London Film Festival in October 2024 due to staff safety reasons. [5]

The documentary was nominated for the Royal Television Society Programme Awards [6] and the British Academy Television Award for Best Single Documentary. [7]
