Andrew’s most recent released film, White with Fear, examines how Republican politicians have used racial fear and grievance as a tool to win elections. It features interviews with Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon, Jamie Raskin, and others. The film has been described by critics as riveting, masterful, and required viewing, and it has a 94 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Andrew’s previous film was the acclaimed Viral: Antisemitism in Four Mutations. It was released theatrically across the country and aired nationally as a prime-time PBS special in May 2020. The film was praised by Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, CBS, and the San Francisco Chronicle. It was narrated in part by Julianna Margulies and has also been available through Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

Some of his previous films include:

The Armenian Genocide, which received extraordinary reviews and coverage in almost every major newspaper in the US, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe. The NJ Star-Ledger called it “serious, literate and ultimately heartbreaking.” Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times described it as a “powerful” film that “honors the victims of the Genocide.” The film was screened at the US Congress in an event hosted by three US Representatives.

Jerusalem: Center of the World, which aired on the PBS National Program Service, garnered ratings nearly 40% higher than the PBS national average. The Los Angeles Times called it “an event… a yeoman’s task… timely and timeless.” New York Newsday described it as “Wonderful… Grade A.” Hosted by Ray Suarez of the PBS NewsHour, the two-hour film explores Jerusalem’s history, culture and impact on the world.

They Came to America, which features interviews with Frank McCourt, Cheech Marin and others, won the CINE Golden Eagle for Outstanding Programming. The Wall Street Journal wrote, “The producers knew what they were doing… An impressive 90 minutes… and a consistently affecting one.”

Andrew Goldberg also produced the acclaimed Proud To Serve: The Men and Women of the US Army, hosted by Walter Cronkite. The Wall Street Journal wrote that the film was “absorbing” and “not to be missed,” adding that “they are all narratives, extraordinary in their detail, to say nothing of their power to move.”
