Plot summary
Matt Walsh, a conservative political commentator, podcaster and author, weighs the history of racism and its current state in America and decides to seek out anti-racism experts and activists. After he is ousted from a support group centered on white guilt, he takes on the manner of an academic he interviewed for his earlier documentary What Is a Woman?, earns a DEI certification and presents himself as a diversity, equity and inclusion expert. The diversity, equity and inclusion consultants and anti-racism educators he meets in his new role take him at face value, and the sessions and interviews he joins are unscripted.
