Diving Deeper:

Conservative podcaster Matt Walsh’s latest endeavor, the documentary "Am I Racist?", sees him taking an undercover approach to investigate the anti-racism movement. Sporting a man bun and adopting the guise of a zealous DEI trainee, Walsh embarks on a journey to explore the depths of anti-racism ideology. This film is slated to be the Daily Wire’s first original theatrical release, hitting theaters on September 13.

The trailer for "Am I Racist?" dropped recently, offering a glimpse into Walsh’s journey. The documentary reveals his exploration of anti-racism literature, interviews with key figures, and participation in events designed to confront white supremacy. In one notable scene, Walsh is seen getting kicked out of an event after a woman questions his sincerity about the topic. "If I’m going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover. If I want to be an ally, I need to look like one," Walsh explains in the trailer, as he dons a wig and ties up his hair.

A significant portion of the documentary features Walsh infiltrating a Race2Dinner event, a progressive supper club known for organizing private sessions where attendees pay up to $5,000 to discuss racism and white supremacy. Wearing a face mask and glasses, Walsh serves food and engages in discussions with the attendees. In the trailer, Race2Dinner co-founder Saira Rao is heard making provocative statements about the state of America and the role of white people in perpetuating racism.

The documentary also includes an interview with Robin DiAngelo, the author of "White Fragility," adding another layer to Walsh’s investigation.

"I can’t think of a more appropriate film for the Daily Wire’s first original theatrical release than 'Am I Racist?'," Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing stated. "We want the film to reach every corner of America, not just the Daily Wire’s core audience or political conservatives, and I truly believe with a nationwide theatrical release this film has the power to be the final nail in the coffin of the DEI and the so-called ‘antiracism’ movements."

"Am I Racist?" follows the success of Walsh’s 2022 documentary "What Is a Woman?," continuing his controversial yet impactful approach to tackling societal issues. With its release just around the corner, the film promises to spark significant discussion and debate across the nation.
