This documentary investigates the high hate crime rates in the city of Eugene, Oregon. The progressive college town has been reported by the FBI to have the highest number of hate crimes in the state, and some of the highest numbers of hate crimes per capita of any city in the United States. Are these numbers truly reflective of the atmosphere in Eugene, or could there be more to these statistics than meets the eye?

This project was created entirely by Karli Olson in partial fulfillment of the thesis requirements of the MA Journalism program at the University of Limerick.

Trigger warning: One use of n*****, discussion of racially-biased harassment
