This disturbing documentary profiles a chilling subculture among American youth. For over a decade, the clash between racist and anti-racist youth has been virtually invisible, but now, ever younger members are taking control of the white supremacy movement. Rising against them are a group of anti- racist skinheads, punk rockers and mainstream kids who call themselves the Anti Racist Action (ARA). These groups are often indistinguishable as they battle one another. The filmmaker, Beverly Peterson, had extraordinary access to the hate-filled adolescents at war with each other. Their confrontations have led to assaults and even murder, confounding their parents, their communities, as well as the police. While organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Americans for Democratic Action encourage unity demonstrations to counter the Klan s hate rallies, it is the violent kids of the ARA that seem to be most effective in combating the white supremacists. This hard-hitting film, with its strong language and extreme expressions of racism, will awaken audiences to a frightening adolescent phenomenon.
