Synopsis:
Peterson's extraordinary access to skinheads, gutter punks, and mainstream
kids drops the viewer into the front lines of a powerful, passionate, and very
raw youth subculture. She documents not only the young people involved in the
pro-white movement, but also the counter-movement that demonstrates against
and often clashes with them: Anti-Racist Action (ARA). After a decade of going
unheard, these voices create a stirring and unique look at urgent and timely
issues that can be conveyed only by actually viewing the physical
confrontations between the two groups as they collide in a war of ideas.
Viewers will also become aware of the extreme danger that ARA members expose
themselves to: in 1998 two members of ARA were murdered in the Las Vegas
desert. Leonard, a 21-year-old neo-Nazi skinhead sums up: "We are two separate
groups . . . There's always going to be racism. There's always going to be
hate. We're going to do whatever it takes to get the other one out of the way
. . ."
