In this authored documentary, journalist Richard Littlejohn investigates the rise of anti-Semitism in modern Britain. Last year, concerns about the rise of reported attacks on Jews prompted an All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into anti-Semitism. The findings made for uncomfortable reading, reporting that anti-Semitism no longer exists solely at the margins of society but that violence, desecration of property and intimidation directed towards Jews is on the increase.
Historically considered the home territory of the extreme right, Littlejohn argues that anti-Semitism now has a foothold among other sections of society. He travels across Britain to see the impact of prejudice; meeting victims of anti-Semitism, visiting a desecrated graveyard and joining a police patrol on the streets of north Manchester where Jews struggle to visit the local synagogue for fear of attack.
Anti-Semitism has been called 'the longest hatred' and Littlejohn seeks to find out why it has moved once more from beyond the margins of society.
