The Takedown: American Aryans: What to expect
The documentary The Takedown: American Aryans, created by October Films under the direction of Neil Rawles, delves into the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a white supremacist-driven criminal syndicate.
The Takedown: American Aryans investigates the case of 19-year-old Breanna Taylor, whose disappearance and murder exposed the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) and its criminal activities, including homicides, drug trafficking, arms dealing, and kidnappings.
In the trailer, Breanna's sister, Kate, calls the crime one of the most horrifying acts she's known. Federal agent Richard Boehning, who led the investigation, identifies the ABT as a major domestic terrorist threat, highlighting the need for a large-scale federal response.
The film presents firsthand accounts from ex-members of the gang, law enforcement personnel, and Breanna Taylor’s parents, Gene and Donna Taylor, providing a comprehensive insight into the inner workings of the ABT. Investigative reporter Carolyn Canville, a key figure in the series, explains the group’s strict hierarchy and its enforcement of violent rules on both members and outsiders, as revealed in the documentary’s trailer.
More about The Takedown: American Aryans
The synopsis of the series, according to IMDb, reads:
"An inside look into the cult-like world of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas from the late 2000s to the present day."
The group known as the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), sometimes called the Tip and Ace Deuce emerged in the early 1980s as an independent faction, distinct from the original Aryan Brotherhood. While both groups share similar ideological beliefs, the ABT functions as both a violent prison gang and an organized crime syndicate operating across Texas, according to splcenter.org.
As per splcenter.org, the gang upholds the white supremacist ideology of David Lane’s “14 Words.” Unlike other extremist groups, the ABT places a strong emphasis on anonymity, enabling its members to assimilate into society while engaging in organized criminal activities.
