The British far-right is working to deconstruct our democracy. This shocking, revealing project highlights who they are, how they operate, and how they legitimize extreme ideologies like eugenics. In the summer of 2024, riots swept across England, marking one of the largest waves of far-right violence in the post-war period. However, far-right activity takes many other forms, all of which are dangerous.

Journalist Harry Shukman is well aware of the dangers: he had infiltrated these groups. For over a year, he carefully placed his hidden camera and pretended to be an extremist named Chris. We follow Shukman as he encounters a secret community network in a pub, participates in a campaign with the political party Britain First, and attends a neo-Nazi conference. We meet a circle of Holocaust deniers, a race science organization with a main investor from Silicon Valley, and right-wing think tanks supported by conservative politicians.

What we are witnessing is hard to believe or endure. "The Year of the Caterpillar" is a divisive and urgent revelation - tense, darkly absurd, and utterly chilling. Risking his safety and sanity, Shukman has stripped away the terrifying everyday mask of the far-right. Now, we must ensure that it remains at bay.
