The Takedown: American Aryans: What to expect
The Takedown: American Aryans, produced by October Films and directed by Neil Rawles, offers a detailed look at the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a criminal organization rooted in white supremacist ideology.
The series traces events from the late 2000s to the present day, with a particular focus on the disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Breanna Taylor. Her case became the turning point that exposed ABT’s network, which was involved in crimes such as homicides, drug trafficking, illegal arms distribution, and kidnappings.
“What happened to Breanna, it is the most inhumane thing that I've ever heard of being done to somebody It ruined lives”- Kate Taylor, Breanna’s younger sister in the trailer of The Takedown: American Aryans on Max, 23 January,2025.
According to Boehning in the trailer, the ABT posed the most significant domestic terrorist threat in the country at the time, requiring a large-scale federal intervention.
Interviews with former gang members, law enforcement officials, and victims’ parents Gene and Donna Taylor provide insight into the operations of the ABT. Investigative Reporter Carolyn Canville, a key voice in the documentary, describes the group as a structured crime syndicate built on racial division, enforcing strict rules and violent punishments on both members and outsiders as seen in the 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 Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), also known as the Tip and Ace Deuce, emerged in the early 1980s as a separate entity from the Aryan Brotherhood. Despite sharing a similar ideology, the ABT operates as both a violent prison gang and a statewide crime syndicate as per splcenter.org.
According to the same site, it maintains a rigid leadership structure, with members active inside Texas prisons and in communities across the state. The gang adheres to the white supremacist principles of David Lane’s “14 Words.” Unlike other extremist groups, the ABT prioritizes anonymity, allowing its members to integrate into society while continuing their criminal activities.
