Episode 3: They heiled Trump. Now they're mainstream.

In 2016, filmmaker Daniel Lombroso caught Trump supporters heiling the president-elect’s victory on camera. After the clip went viral, Lombroso embedded himself in alt-right circles and documented the ascent of white nationalism in what became his debut feature, White Noise.
