WHITE TERROR
by Daniel Schweizer
VOD
Over the past years, there has been a significant changeover among radical far-right extremists: the veterans are long gone, either dead or too old. New ideologists are emerging all over Europe, North America and Russia. They do not necessarily shave their heads; they have created corporations, distribution companies, music clubs, magazines, publishing houses, internet sites and they have replaced the old symbols with new ones. With globalization taking a firmer hold and with clear demarcation lines blurring, the hate mongers are rekindling the fires of the past, blowing on their glowing ashes. In this era of new technologies, the United States and Sweden have been deeply shocked to discover their youth inciting racist violence, which has since contaminated the whole of the Western world as well as Russia and its neighbouring countries. Over two years of investigation on the most active extremist groups have revealed the international links between them from Stockholm to Dallas via Moscow. Daniel Schweizer, director of acclaimed documentary Skinhead Attitude, investigates the forces that hide behind the «White Power» and the «New Racists» slogans.
