We examine violent attacks against Jewish Americans in the US and the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories behind them.

Fault Lines examines rising levels of violence and threats against Jewish Americans and the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that often animate these attacks.

Anti-Semitic hate crimes reached a five-year high in 2016. The next year, anti-Semitic incidents saw an unprecedented surge, and white supremacists marched through Charlottesville, Virginia chanting "Jews will not replace us".

Vikings vs Neo-Nazis: Battling the Far Right in Sweden

A Viking enthusiast confronts a neo-Nazi leader for misappropriating Viking symbols for white supremacist propaganda.

Across Sweden, young Viking enthusiasts have been angered by the actions of some far-right organisations who have adopted Viking iconography to represent white supremacist propaganda. One, in particular, is the Nordic Resistance Movement, known as the NRM.

Viking enthusiast Robin Lundin is the co-founder of an association called Vikingar Mot Rasism (Vikings Against Racism, or VAR). The group was formed on Facebook to combat the conflation of Viking enthusiasm with neo-nazism, and it has more than 1,500 members.

Countering White Nationalism

A year after the Christchurch mass shooting we discuss the root causes of the growth in white nationalist attacks.

A year ago this week a white supremacist massacred 51 Muslims in mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in an attack that shocked the world and put the spotlight on the rise of racist attacks occurring worldwide.

"The level of violence, the number of people killed, the way it was live-streamed ... I think was really shocking," said Christian Picciolini, a former neo-Nazi who founded the Free Radicals Project, which works to deradicalise individuals.

In recent months there have been a number of attacks fuelled by white nationalism in places like Germany, France and the United States. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a senior fellow at the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, says the phenomenon is in part caused by a legitimisation of the ideology by mainstream politicians.

Fascism in the Family

A personal look at Mussolini's regime and how Italy may now be embracing fascist ideologies most believed gone forever.

The word fascism is often used to describe the extreme nationalist and anti-immigrant sentiments that seem to be on the rise across the world.

But what are the similarities between today's far-right movements and the brutal ideology that was born in Italy a century ago?

In this film, Italian-born journalist and Al Jazeera senior presenter, Barbara Serra, examines her own family's links to Benito Mussolini's regime to see if Fascism really is resurfacing in Italy today.

Hungary: Europe's Bad Boy

We investigate why Hungary, under its authoritarian leader Viktor Orban, has repeatedly clashed with the European Union.

In his youth, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was hailed as a champion of freedom, a key figure in the generation of pro-democracy activists who stood up to the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War.

These days he is routinely characterised as an authoritarian, far-right nationalist figure, a demagogue whose migrant-bashing agenda poses a significant threat to Western democratic norms.

New Zealand’s Dark Days | 101 East

101 East investigates New Zealand's worst mass shooting that killed dozens of innocent people.

Quiet, picturesque New Zealand was the last place most people expected to see a massacre.

"This is not us," the country grieved en masse after the Christchurch killings.

But as the dust settles on a mass shooting that saw 51 Muslims shot and killed as they prayed, community leaders, survivors and activists are starting to tell a different story.

They say alarms about rising Islamophobia and glaring loopholes in the gun laws were ignored repeatedly.

Despite New Zealand's harmonious image, refugees like Guled Mire say they have long battled racism.

How the Far Right Is Shaking Germany’s Political Order | Dispatches

Germany’s role as the defender of a liberal and tolerant Europe is in jeopardy: A far-right political party is gaining strength and Chancellor Angela Merkel says she will not seek re-election. We went to Chemnitz, where the far right feels emboldened and is protesting in the streets.

Church of Trump

An insight into the Trump administration's relationship with the religious right and implications for US politics.

The United States has just gone through its most contentious Supreme Court nomination in decades.

The US watched as Brett Kavanaugh ascended to the highest court in the country, despite a serious allegation of sexual assault from his high school days.

As the Senate reviewed his nomination, protesters took to the streets, and the events once again broke open the country's political and cultural divides.

Letters to a Serial Killer (video)

Can a filmmaker learn who tried to kill her brother in Sweden by corresponding with a racist serial killer, Peter Mangs?

On November 28, 2006, 16-year-old Kamal Masri rode his bike to football practice in Malmo, Sweden, the city to which, many years earlier, his parents had moved from Lebanon.

An hour later, his family received a telephone call from the police. Kamal had fallen off his bike and was in hospital, they were told.

But at the hospital the doctors discovered that Kamal has been shot five times. There were bullets lodged in his head, shoulder and neck.

The Mothers of Rinkeby: Last Night in Sweden

A group of Somali super mums patrols the streets of Stockholm's infamous Rinkeby neighbourhood to prevent crime.

It's 7pm and Ardo is getting ready for her shift. She puts on her orange jacket and makes her way through Rinkeby town centre, passing under its famous Rinkeby Centrum arch.

It's bustling on a Friday evening with elderly men sitting on benches, chatting and watching passersby, young people making their way to and from the nearby gym and families heading out to eat in the Pakistani restaurant or pizzeria.

This is Antifa: Behind the mask of the US anti-fascist movement

Behind the scenes with Antifa, Fault Lines explores the rise of hate speech and political violence in the Trump era.

Ever since the video of a black-clad anarchist punching white supremacist leader Richard Spencer went viral on the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, the loosely-knit anti-fascist movement known as Antifa has gained new popularity and scrutiny in the United States.

Antifa is a fringe movement, a loose collection of organisations and ideas with no party line and no formal leadership, but their fight against the far right has found centre stage in the polarised climate of Trump's America.

"When the fascists stick their head out of the ground, and say, 'we're going to be here on this day, to march in support of our white greatness', that's gross. And that's when people organise, get together, and bash the fash," says a medic who tends to the wounded at street protests.
