The series details Ronson's encounters with conspiracy theorists and accompanies his 2001 book Them: Adventures with Extremists, which covers similar topics and describes many of the same events.
The film shows previously unseen archive footage to describe the life of a family who claim to have moved to a cabin in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, to live peacefully and escape what they see as the tyrannical elite of international bankers bent on enslaving the world.
Ronson explores the unsympathetic media response to the killings and how this incident might have influenced the siege at Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the growth of the American militia movement.
Ronson meets a number of theorists whilst investigating the story and concludes his film in Elohim City, a private Christian Identity movement compound in Oklahoma.
Original air date: 27 May 2001 Ronson teams up with reporter James P. Tucker Jr., who has been investigating the Bilderberg Group, an annual invitation-only conference, for over thirty years.
