Truthful But Misleading
The shameful truth is that there's indeed white supremacists, homophobic psychopaths etc. in the world and the US. This documentary covers a few cases of so called "hate crimes". It rightly points out that there are groups such as white supremacists who are prone to them This is however, a unfortunate fact of life. Some will always find a group to blame/hate.
What this SPLC hype doesn't say is many of the SPLC's "900 hate groups" in the US aren't. Many are law abiding and peaceful yet are STEREOTYPED by the SPLC as violent extremists simply because of the actions of rare psychopaths that in truth are as likely to wind up in government or law enforcement as in a militia. For the SPLC and friends to stereotype people in this way makes them as big a "hate group" as any. Their materials encourage police to hyperventilate and treat patriots as violent simply for knowing the law or their rights under it.
It's wrong to stereotype blacks as thieves, postal workers as unstable shooters, or "sovereign citizens" and "constitutionalists" as "hate groups". There aren't that many "hate groups". Drop the stereotypes and just treat criminals like criminals and law abiding citizens as innocent until proved guilty.
