The 60-minute film will see Layla Wright meet young women across the US who are using social media to champion far-right content
A new BBC documentary, fronted by journalist Layla Wright, is set to delve into the world of far-right politics in America. The programme, titled America's New Female Right, will introduce viewers to the female content creators who are spreading far-right ideologies across social media platforms.
This comes after the rise of the 'tradwife' movement in 2020, where women, self-identifying as traditional wives, openly discussed their firm belief in gender roles and marriages. The official synopsis reads: "Against the backdrop of the presidential election, 27-year-old British journalist Layla Wright travels from her hometown in Liverpool to the US, to meet a new wave of women using social media platforms and podcasts to champion extreme views on social media, including content that is increasingly shocking and, surprisingly, anti-feminist.
"She will attempt to understand exactly what is driving young women, including some close to her own age and others as young as 16 years old, to advocate for a movement that is looking to roll back the clock on hard-earned rights."
