Portland-based anti-fascist Sean Kealiher was killed in 2019, months before the uprising that would bring Portland international attention. Nearly two years later, his homicide remains unsolved. His mother, Laura, believes she hasn't received justice because of police hatred for her son and his politics. Dying For A Fight, goes in search of answers: What happened the night Sean was killed? Why have no arrests been made? Who are the Americans living at the political extremes? And how did things escalate from Portland to the Capitol?

Depressingly good

Lays the sociopathy of the US neocons and the hubris of Tony Blair bare for all to see. A major contributor to the decline in trust for politicians and the media in the West over the last twenty years, and of course the chaos and death that rippled out across the middle east and the world.
Season 1 incredible…

But Season 2 was just awful, I couldn't endure more than 3 episodes. It went from incredibly well researched, incredibly well presented and incredibly fascinating - to the exact opposite. Essentially an attempt at glorifying a domestic terrorist. We should not be asked to sympathise with a left-wing extremist who spent his life trying to create an anarchist society.
The Truth Shall Set You Free?

So far I am enjoying this series. I like the presentation. However, I hoped it would be made very clear that US policy during Iran-Iraq war was to equipt Iraq with the means to make chemical weapons, & to sanction their use so as to avoid an Iran win at all costs. The means to make those weapons were supplied by US, European & other western Govts. The interview with Rumsvelt mentions that fact briefly. But stating that we ‘knew’ from the attack on Kurdish Halabja & the murder of 5000 Kurds (1988) that Iraqi regime had WMD, is misleading. We knew they were used against Iran, on both civilians & combatants between 1983 - 1988, we knew upwards of 20,000 combatants & civilians, including Iranian Kurds had died as a result (& the ongoing deaths from after effects continue). We knew because we gave it to them. What we didn’t expect was that Saddam would use them on people the US didn’t sanction their use on. That would be more accurate & contextual. We were ok with their use as long as it was to Iranians. Just as the policy now in Mid East is against Iran, regardless of the fall out to the area & the rest of the world, so it was then. Saddam’s error was to turn his ambitions against his fellow Arabs & former US masters. Otherwise our concern about WMD was absent. The duplicity of western attitudes (including Blair) & behaviours towards other countries should always be hilighted & never understated, simply because it’s still happening now. We are once again making the case for war based on very very dubious ‘intelligence’ & rationale.
Brilliant first season, terrible second season

Went from robust, nuanced, balanced, quality journalism in season 1 to biased, confusing, confused nonsense in season 2.
