Are the insurrectionists are new kind of political extemists in the US?

A team of researchers from the University of Chicago has analysed the profiles of nearly 200 people that were arrested in connection with the Capitol riots.

They found a large proportion had no affiliation to any militant organisations and 40% worked in white-collar occupations.

This film was produced by Stuart Denman, with assistance from Emmanuelle Saliba.
