Deals with a bizarre, complicated and frightening phenomenon: the rebirth of the Nazi movement in America. It took three months to get inside the front door of a Nazi household and another eight months before cameras were permitted to roll.

Be prepared, because the Nazis portrayed are not heel-clicking, Hollywood creations. More frighteningly, they are the men, women and children who may live next door.
