When the college town of Charlottesville, Va. decides to remove its confederate statues, white nationalists and their supporters descend for a series of protests that culminate in the now infamous “Unite the Right” rally. Concerned citizens protest the influx of hate, including paralegal Heather Heyer. When a man deliberately drives his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, dozens are injured, and Heather is killed. On the third anniversary of her death, Investigation Discovery presents the two-hour special IMPACT OF HATE: CHARLOTTESVILLE. With storytelling driven by four different victim impact statements throughout – including three attack survivors as well as Heather’s mother – this emotionally gripping special allows us to hear directly from the victims about the horror they endured, and how the hateful actions of that fateful day left collateral damage for a lifetime.
