Q: Into the Storm (Season 1)

"Q: Into the Storm" (2021) is an HBO documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Cullen Hoback spent three years tracing the QAnon movement from its first cryptic "Q drops" on 4chan and 8chan to the mob that stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The access Hoback secured is the most striking element of the series: he films Jim Watkins and Ron Watkins, father and son, the men who owned 8chan when Q chose it as his platform. He sits with leading QAnon promoters, researchers, and counter-extremism analysts as the story unfolds around them in real time. By the final episode, Hoback makes a specific case for who Q actually is.

At six episodes, it stands as one of the most methodical attempts to document how anonymous online posts became a political force capable of reshaping elections. Stream all episodes of "Q: Into the Storm" online on iFILM.
