Court TV Broadcast Tonight - Behind the Mask
Tonight at 10 pm EST Court TV will broadcast "Behind the Mask," a new one hour documentary that I produced about the Aryan Republican Army, a gang of notorious white supremacist bank robbers. The film is part of Court TV's Investigators series. The ARA robbed twenty banks across the mid-west in the mid 1990s in an attempt to finance the violent overthrow of the United States government. The leader of the gang, Peter Langan, was, in addition to being a bank robber, a pre-operative transsexual, an identity that he concealed from his fellow gang members. The gang produced a remarkable documentary about themselves, portions of which are excerpted in my film.
