Indivisible: Healing Hate

This documentary does a good job of recounting actual events that have happened since the 1980s. When you're living through events it is hard to keep up with all the incoming information at the time. Looking back on these events gives you a good, self-drawn perspective on how these events have shaped our lives.

Don't listen to the nay sayers about this docuseries, it's worth a watch.

Part of the fundamental problem in today's society is we seek out confirmation bias, almost as a lifeline to our own sanity. Which explains why there are so many polar responses to this mini-series. You can infer the political party of the critic based solely on the number of stars given. 10 Stars = Democrat, 1 star = Trump Republican. Make no mistake about it, their political views cloud their opinion.

But for those of us that might not think of our party as the absolute epitome of morality, or are independent, the absoluism can be a bit less convoluted.

The series begins with telling the tale of an ex-skinhead trying to make sense of his past, one that saw him utterly fail in his hate crime against a synagogue where he was arrested and sent to jail for his crimes.

Throughout the series it returns to his disillusionment about what being a part of the arian nation means.

In the meantime it weaves national news story after national news story that have entranced the country for years, and examines how they are connected in a fundamental way that even the participants might not fully comprehend or understand.

It examines how the flow of news we choose to to view shapes our very understanding of the story itself.

It manages to string together a narrative of wildly diverging stories from the past several decades into one that actually makes sense.

It is a good examination for those looking to understand the events of Jan 6 beyond simply a coup attempt by Trump.

It examines what Trump was tapping into and relying upon in his attempt, and it's much deeper than him simply attempting to usurp power.

The journey is well worth the time to explore.

Most of the reviews on here reflect biased outrage by a population of individuals who are unable to perform critical thinking and confuse facts and opinions. The low rating is itself a symptom of the division this show highlights. The fact is (and verifiable primary source research supports) never before has a political party in this nation explicitly endorsed violence, no matter what the memes and cartoons flooding your timeline suggest. This documentary chronicles the history and lineage of hate groups that led to January 6th. It's a difficult and deeply important story to hear if our democracy matters to you.

I don't write reviews normally. I wanted to like this, to understand how someone ends up in a hate group, but where are the far right groups? We can't heal any divide by pointing out that one side hates. Hatred is awake and well on both ends of the political spectrum. Maybe someone could take an honest look at how we got here, and open a dialogue instead of pointing fingers.

There are parts of this documentary that are insightful. To listen to people who were members of hate groups speak of how they became a part of the group was helpful. We are all swayed by the company we keep, and the mob mentally can be deadly.

5 stars for telling half the story.

It is a shame that on a site whose purpose is to review and rate a film for its execution many people by the rating at present and reviews are giving it a thumbs down because they do not like the content and message that it draws as a conclusion.

For me the episodes show a linear timeline exposing the deep divisions amongst us an American people that is clearly escalating.

Democracy as an institution only survives if we believe in a majority rule. The inability of many Americans to accept this principle shows up in our everyday life every day. And now has even seeped into this user review section of IMDB.
