Description: Nazi skinheads in Melbourne take out their anger on local Vietnamese, who are seen as threatening racial purity. Finally the Vietnamese have had enough and confront the skinheads in an all-out confrontation, sending the skinheads running. A woman who is prone to epileptic seizures joins the skins' merry band, and helps them on their run from justice, but is her affliction also a sign of impurity?
*This plot synopsis is taken from IMDB, but I don't feel the movie is mostly about weather or not Gabe is accepted or not, but rather the internal struggles that always seem to arise in extremist groups. This is a powerful and raw story about what drives people to extremism and how it often ends. Way better than the commercial and overrated "American History X" (sorry, but the comparison is unavoidable).
