Director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) examines the way history has been written to foster the scourge of white supremacy in the new four-part HBO documentary Exterminate All the Brutes.
In this just-released trailer, Peck explains that he is "an immigrant from a sh*thole country" and that "there is no such thing as alternative facts," laying the gauntlet directly at the feet of the Trump era of lies and xenophobia, declaring that "neutrality is not an option." He also boils down the entire history of humanity to three words: "civilization, colonization, extermination."
Exterminate All the Brutes premieres April 7 on HBO Max.
