- near perfect "I killed two guys, 
				Danny, I killed them. And it didn't make me feel any different. 
				It just got me more lost and 
				I'm tired of being pissed off, 
				Danny. I'm just tired of it." - Derek Vinyard 
				 
				Why watch this? 
				This brutal film takes on the rancid underbelly of hate and white 
				supremacy. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Derek Vinyard, a former neo-Nazi who served time in prison for 
				murder. There he gains clarity. He is released and wants to 
				prevent his younger brother Danny from following the same path 
				of hate and violence. Danny, influenced by Derek's past actions 
				and ideologies, is already involved with a white supremacist 
				group. Dad's Preview: 
				Hate groups prey on the disenfranchised, the lonely, the abused. 
				These cults offer connection, belonging and an outlet for 
				violence. A promise to topple the establishment and rebuild a 
				new world. The big lie is that this life leads to destruction 
				and misery. Edward Norton's 
				performance is chilling and powerful, but Furlong, as this 
				little brother, embodies the 
				personification of lost. The film's imagery will sear a 
				blister into your conscious.
