This is the trailer for October Films’ Max Original four-part documentary series The Takedown: American Aryans, from Investigation Discovery (ID), directed by Neil Rawles, that debuts February 6 on Max.
The Takedown: American Aryans takes viewers inside the cult-like world of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas from the late 2000s to the present day. Told principally by charismatic federal agent Richard Boehning, the series examines an organized crime group built on Nazi ideology and extreme violence operating under the radar in the suburbs of Texas. The shocking murder of a young woman catapults Boehning and his Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) task force on an odyssey to protect American values against an enemy growing in confidence and power. Through never-before-heard wiretaps and secret recordings from inside the case, THE TAKEDOWN: AMERICAN ARYANS reveals how Boehning’s operation systematically targeted and destroyed one of the most dangerous gangs in America. Packed with incredible access to those at the center of the story, from the families of those tragically impacted by violence, to incarcerated gang members, and the woman who risks her life to go undercover inside the Aryan Brotherhood, the series reveals a terrifying crime syndicate that must be stopped.
The October Films series is directed and produced by Neil Rawles and executive produced by Matt Robins and Mike Warner.
