Ep 1. Fear

IFC follows political reporter Max Blumenthal deep into the heart of the Tea Party movement to uncover what makes them tick. Among his findings are that the conservative "grassroots uprising" might not be as organic as it seems. Opening with President Obama's election, this episode recaps the disintegration of political discourse as hope yielded to fear within the conservative party and Tea Partiers took to the streets. Max travels to Montgomery, Alabama to meet protesters first-hand and, back in New York, he discovers that the entire movement might be orchestrated by a consortium of highly connected GOP pressure groups.
