Summary
<p>My guest is Andrew Callaghan, a documentary filmmaker and the host of Channel 5. He is the director of This Place Rules (2022) and Dear Kelly (2025), an in-depth portrait of a man he met at a ‘White Lives Matter' rally. We discuss the breakdown of consensus reality and how deplatforming can often lead to greater political extremism. Andrew describes his early origins in the anarchist movement and his participation in a group called Seattle Solidarity. His work explores the decline of the American dream along with the rise of political radicalism online and IRL.</p><p>You can get access to the full catalog for Doomscroll and more by becoming a paid supporter: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/joshuacitarella" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/joshuacitarella</a></p>
