Four Scottish teenagers. Two interlocking stories. One ideology tears them apart.
Talented kickboxers and A-grade pupils Fatma and Britney have been best friends for ever. That is until now. Britney’s views about everything are changing dramatically. She’s getting drawn into the alt right online. When Fatma is sent something sinister through the post it triggers a series of decisions that will destroy their lives and their teacher’s life for ever. Britney’s brother Jordan is pals with Quinn. Quinn is proud to be right wing. That is until he falls deeply into its darkness and finds he’s in over his head with a blade in his pocket. All four teenagers lives are changed forever – engulfed in the fallout of when damaging influence leads to damaging actions.
This is an unflinching exploration of how young people today are prey to a range of extreme ideologies and how helpless people in their real lives are to stop them imploding.
The Kids Are Alt Right is a cautionary tale of how social media and YouTube content can lead to actions and consequences that can never be undone.
