BBC World Service - The Inquiry, Is Antifa the threat it’s made out to be?

What is the truth about the anti-fascist group dividing America?

Who are the anti-fascist group, and what is the truth about their use of violence and attitude to free speech?

Vivid and sometimes wild claims about the antifascist group Antifa have been circulating in America. Some say that the group participates in widespread violence, while others have argued that it is a small but justified part of their fight against fascism.

Tanya Beckett takes a closer look at what is true and what is exaggeration.

Producer: Nathan Gower
