Plot: A rare look at American crackpots. Young children give the "Sieg Heil," addle brained housewives bake swastika-decorated cakes, and hate-filled brown shirts march along American streets.
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
It's interesting seeing a documentary presented like this where there is no narration. What you see and here are the subjects talking about their beliefs and seeing a little into their world. If you're against the subjects then this will solidify how much you hate them. If you're for what they believe, it'll make you proud. JESUS CAMP (2006) is like that. These people are scary in how deep their hate is. Watching these people is tough, especially when small children are Nazi saluting and saying how much they hate "niggers" and "jews". It's revolting. But there is hope as later in the film another small boy says he only does the saluting and dressing up only because his father likes it. He says he won't be like that when he grows up. It's the one brief moment of hope. It's fleeting because of other things he says. He is his father's son, after all, and he's learning to be a racist. I came across this when looking at film composer Craig Safan's filmography and seeing this was his first film score.
