[
Almost a year ago the inauguration of President Barack Obama was hailed as a
turning point in US race relations. The country was said to be entering a new
era of post-racial politics, on the path to a future of greater diversity and
tolerance.
But while crowds flocked to Washington to witness the swearing in, others were
refusing to join the party. Racially motivated threats against Obama rose to new
heights in the first months of his presidency, with the US seeing nine
high-profile race killings in 2009.
Meanwhile white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups claim their membership is
growing and that visits to their websites are increasing.
Is the racial undercurrent that has long structured US politics reasserting
itself?
Filmmakers Rick Rowley and Jacquie Soohen went inside the white nationalist
movement to investigate.
Some of the images seen and opinions heard in the film are disturbing.
