Two short films, the first one about the Southern Poverty Law Center’s HateWatch work: For 7 years, a victim of violent anti-Semetic harassment flips the script on her tormentor, chasing the notorious White supremacy figure through the Dark Web in pursuit of justice.

The second about an unlikely Nazi-hunter: One of the most recognized frontline journalists tracking extremism in America is a garrulous 80-year-old woman, with a deeply personal motivation to make a positive mark.
