Imperium invoking empathy to shine light on domestic terrorism

DanielRagussis

This Cinema of Change podcast is with Daniel Ragussis, writer/director/producer of Imperium starring Daniel Radcliffe, that centers around an FBI agent who infiltrates a white supremacist group to uncover a domestic terror plot. Though initially Radcliffe’s character, Nate Foster, suspects the obvious skinheads, the film offers a three dimensional look at white radical groups operating in many walks of life.

Bringing the film into the real world, the podcast is also joined by TM Garret, a former Neo-Nazi who now has a non-profit helping others get out and de-radicalize. The foundation is called, C.H.A.N.G.E.

Filmmakers have classically created film to entertain, to make art and profit, to advance technology and narrative structures. In the documentary genre, creating awareness of a certain issue is often the central interest. There is a much greater potential within motion pictures though, namely the capacity to transformative influence – films can change society.
