This documentary follows the member of The Ku Klux Klan(KKK) in the USA. It contains interviews many members along with some interviews and archive footage of their opposition The Black Panthers. The angle of this documentary is racism and the KKK are still a huge problem in the USA.
One of the conventions that are being used in this documentary is balance as it shows both sides to the viewers of the KKK vs the Black Panthers. It does this by including archive footage of both, for example an interview with the KKK state leader Charles Murphy and also shows an interview with members of the Black Panthers where is asks what their thoughts about racism are. It provides the viewers with voice overs of members of both Klans of them making racist comments.
Another convention that is being used is representation which shows both groups as having a certain type of society as members as both groups are racist towards others ethnicities by saying how that there should only be one culture in the USA either from the two group on white people or black people.It indicates to the viewers that the KKK members are racist as they despise other cultures. The representation also includes a clip of the Black Panthers protesting on the streets by saying 'black power' and also being judgemental by using insulting language about white people for example insulting a mother that wants to join the protest with her mixed raced daughter but is rejected because she is white.Another convention that is being used in this documentary is objectivity by providing the viewers with facts and opinions for example in this clip the story is talking about when the KKK first started and how many people there are in the group and also how many followers that join up daily from different city's in the United States. The last convention that is being portrayed to the viewers is impartiality the presenter of this doesn't take the sides of the KKK and The Black Panthers he is neutral and he also doesn't pass judgement.

The conventions that this documentary contains is access&privacy for example when the 4 people that have different cultures go undercover by having hidden cameras to show the viewers if and when other people are being racist to them and to also show how they are being treated such as each of the 3 people have different background cultures. For instance Muslim,Jewish and also African they went out on the street twice the first time was to show there culture off to see show the viewers if anyone is being racist to them the second was to and act being normal and this indicates to the viewers that they are not being racist because before they were being judged for their background and culture.
