‘White With Fear’ and two other documentaries to watch right now

Andrew Goldberg’s documentary, “White With Fear,” reveals how conservative politicians have strategically used racial anxieties to gain votes over the past six decades. The film shows how figures like Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and Trump, with support from Rupert Murdoch and right-wing media, deliberately appealed to the fears of white voters to win elections.

‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’: How five women helped birth a reality juggernaut

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” first aired on Bravo on March 21, 2006, introducing viewers to Jeana Keough, Vicki Gunvalson, Lauri Peterson, Kimberly Bryant, and Jo De La Rosa. Though the initial season was only eight episodes long, the show quickly grew into a major franchise, expanding to 12 other cities across the United States, with the newest version debuting next month. It has also spawned over 30 international versions in 20 countries and a dozen spin-off shows (some more successful than others). The series set a new standard for reality TV by offering a candid look at the lives and viewpoints of wealthy women, a format that other networks, like Hulu with “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” have tried to copy.
