Film Lens

Am I Racist?
Am I Racist? is a satirical documentary comedy film that critiques the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement through the lens of conservative commentator Matt Walsh. Directed by Justin Folk, the film follows Walsh as he adopts the persona of a DEI trainee to interview experts and participate in anti-racism workshops. The narrative unfolds with Walsh attempting to expose perceived absurdities within the DEI framework, including a petition to rename the Washington Monument to the 'George Floyd Monument' and a workshop where he publicly condemns his uncle for a past racist joke. The film culminates in Walsh's realization that the DEI movement is a scam, leading him to abandon his workshop. With a production budget of $3 million, the film was released on September 13, 2024, and grossed $12.3 million, making it the highest-grossing documentary of the year. The film features appearances from notable figures like Robin DiAngelo, who later expressed that she felt misled by the filmmakers regarding their intentions.
