From Russia with Hate
Christof Putzel
USA 2007 / 19 Mins 40 s

From Russia with Hate investigates the rise of racist violence in Russia.

Documentary filmmaker Christof Putzel travelled to Moscow to track down the source of viral videos on the Internet showing neo-Nazi skinheads kicking and beating immigrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia.

He learned that the videos are posted across the Internet as propaganda for the ultra-right activists who appear to operate largely unhindered by Russia's increasingly authoritarian government.

Despite their ability to launch almost daily attacks, leaders of the movement operate in the shadows and rarely reveal themselves to outsiders. By persuading them of his determination to show them as they are, Christof was able to gain their confidence and get an exclusive look inside their operations.

Nazi Pop Twins
James Quinn
UK 2007 / 48 Mins

Meet pop-sensation Prussian Blue. They're fourteen years old, have long blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes, luminous smiles and have even been compared to the Olsen twins. So what's the problem? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that they're better known as the poster girls of neo-Nazism and have been hailed by White nationalists across the world as the future of the Aryan race.

Since their arrival on the pop scene, Lamb and Lynx have gained thousands of column inches and ignited global outrage with their very own brand of White Nationalist pop in which they sing the praises of Rudolph Hess, promote Holocaust denial and dream of a White America.

As they allow the cameras into their lives, this intimate portrait profiles the notorious band and their mother/ manager April as it goes behind the headlines to understand the nature of their appeal and the motivations behind the controversial music they produce.
