Told by the operatives in the rooms where it happened, White with Fear is an explosive deep dive into the decades-long quest by America's conservative political machine to amass power by exploiting racial fault lines and stoking narratives of White victimization.

Clear-sighted and well-organized, Andrew Goldberg’s probe into the arson job that is America’s current political system examines the flames that stoked the fire.

2/4

Goldberg acknowledges that the film’s power is in its exclusive cast sharing their personal experiences. But his film fails to realize that it, too, is a player in platforming an already undefeated beast.

A very interesting look at how dog-whistle politics came to dominate the Republican Party.

4/5

While I'm glad this documentary includes an Asian American point of view, there are minor problems and due to the political atmosphere, it is already outdated. This is worth seeing and hopefully a sequel is in the works.

3.5/5

Goldberg interviews countless politicians, political strategists, and newspeople...to show how the strategy of stirring up racial fear has been used to divide and conquer for decades in an effective and chilling story of political manipulation.

Plays like a fire alarm pulled after the building has already burned down. It’s not up to date. Its thesis and arguments are easy and obvious. And the film fails to get that today, the real issue is the Americans being led, not the pipers leading them.

The film centers on Mark Watney (Matt Damon), an astronaut left stranded on Mars after a devastating storm. With limited resources, he must find a way to survive and send a message to Earth, relying on his ingenuity and scientific knowledge. The story unfolds with a sense of urgency and hope, showcasing Watney's unwavering determination and the efforts of NASA to bring him home. The film skillfully balances Watney's individual struggle with the broader complexities of space exploration and international collaboration
