With their stories told, each person goes on to discuss the broader issues raised by their deplatforming. Gavin McInnes talks about the necessity for social media for journalists, Laura Loomer describes how there is a war for information - and for access to it. Tommy Robinson questions the morality of mainstream politicians lobbying social media platforms to stop those looking for certain accounts gaining access to them before Paul Joseph Watson explains how the impacts of social media politics are spilling over to affect apolitical creators like Shane Dawson or James Charles. The movie ends asking the question, what form will social media take in ten years time - and how much of a monopoly will it hold on all of our lives.
- DirectorJudd SaulStarsSteve DeaceLindsay GrathwohlTrevor Loudon"Antifa" is the third episode in the "America Under Siege" documentary web-series releasing over the course of 2017. Each episode profiles the influence of radical Marxists and/or anarchists on various segments of American society.

Antifa, whose name is short for Antifascist Action according to its supporters, notwithstanding the group's adoption of tactics reminiscent of actual fascist groups, has received limited critical coverage in the mainstream media. Working with Dangerous Documentaries, director Judd Saul and conservative commentator Trevor Loudon unveil the real history, motives, and goals of the movement in the United States and elsewhere it is active.
