Synopsis below.
"Two of America’s largest and most-trusted news organizations, The Associated Press and ABC News, are working together for the first time to take you inside one of the world’s most sinister secret societies – the Ku Klux Klan. The George Stephanopoulos Productions (GSP) for ABC News Studios documentary “Grand Knighthawk: Infiltrating the KKK” follows the story of a former Army sniper Joseph Moore, who goes undercover inside the klan to stop the modern-day lynching of a Black man and expose not just the perverseness of white supremacy in the Deep South, but also its troubling intersection with law enforcement.
The true crime narrative is based on award-winning investigative journalist Jason Dearen’s written series for The Associated Press “The Badge and the Cross'' which won the 2022 Online Journalism Award for feature reporting, large newsroom, as well as the Society for Professional Journalists 2022 Green Eyeshade award for the best investigative reporting in the American South."
