Nichols goes on to tell Variety of a number of his scenes that were allegedly fabricated by the production team, such as his relationship with a potential recruit (who himself claims he never wanted to join, but was willing to accept $200 dollars a day to pretend he was), and a heated confrontation with an anti-hate activist in his home.
Nichols claims that the production pushed for the ceremonies, and actually held two for re-shooting purposes.
According to Richard Nichols, a KKK member who was featured in the documentary series, the production team even reportedly paid for materials to build and burn wooden crosses and swastikas.
