A hardcore US racist skinhead who, because of his intelligence, leads a gang dedicated to fighting the enemy: the supposed American-Jewish conspiracy for domination.

An important movie, a reminder of the power of film to move us and to make us examine our values.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Fresh

Misha Berson, Seattle Times
