Brotherhood of Hate

Directed by Pamela Yates
A New York Times Television Production


film still

"There is no telling how many people share the views of the violent white right. They are invisible to most of us, acting as individuals or in small groups, until they resort to violence."

So begins BROTHERHOOD OF HATE, which documents one family's legacy of hate, showing how it was handed down from one generation to the next. It is the story of eight brothers raised to be white supremacist warriors.

Few stories of the violent right are as emblematic as that of the Kehoe family of Coleville Washington, especially the story of the oldest son Chevie. Chevie conspired to build a whites only homeland in the Pacific Northwest, and then embarked on a national rampage of theft, police gunfights and murder. His most serious crime was the murder of Arkansas gun dealer William Mueller, his wife Nancy and her 8-year-old daughter Sarah.

The Muellers lived outside of rural Russellville, Arkansas. Deputy Sheriff Aaron Duvall of Russellville was assigned to investigate what appeared to be an isolated triple homicide. He becomes obsessed with finding the killers of a family he knew.

BROTHERHOOD OF HATE tells the story of Duvall's investigation of the Mulleur/Kehoe case, and through it reveals the virulent, dangerous mentality of white supremacy in America.

"RECOMMENDED... Does a good job of creating drama through the narrative, keeping the viewers both shocked and intrigued. A fine addition to any library collection."
