Sottile has spent a lot of time reporting on American far right extremism and there’s one name that keeps coming up: Timothy McVeigh, the 26-year-old US army veteran behind the Oklahoma City bombing.
“I’ve come to think of him as this ghost of some kind, always lurking in the corner of my office, haunting me”, says Sotille. “A reminder of where domestic terrorism has led in the past.” Starting with an immersive opening scene dominated by the voices of survivors of the bombing, it’s clear that the series is a cautionary tale. It is also a forensic deep dive into the roots of McVeigh’s beliefs. From the infamous standoffs at Ruby Ridge and Waco, to a white nationalist handbook and a secretive Christian compound, Sottile tracks McVeigh’s growing racism and mounting hatred of the US government.
