Young, Nazi and Proud

Reporter David Modell spends several months alongside Mark Collett, an influential member of a British National Party. This university student speaks of his sympathies for Nazi Germany and its leaders. He declares that he would prefer to live in the 1930s in Hitler's Reich than in many contemporary cities of the democratic United Kingdom, and he peppers his speech with hateful racist comments.

Nevertheless, he is only genuinely open when he believes the camera is switched off. The director also follows other events and gets under the surface of the practices employed by politicians. The film illustrates the affinity that the British National Party's leadership has with Mark Colett as he tirelessly prepares for the post of chairman of the party's youth branch. A shocking example of political and media machination unfolds in front of the audience's eyes.

First and foremost, however, the film paints a chilling portrait of a man who demonstrates that dangerous ideas have not lost their ability to impress people, even after they have caused widespread genocide. It also shows that latent violence is still alive and well in society.

The partner of the screening is the international human rights documentary film festival One World. The discussion with the experts on neonazism will follow the screening.
