Synopsis

edit

The 51-minute film profiles the four most active groups in Canada at the time; Heritage Front, Aryan Nations, Church of the Creator and Canadian Liberty Net.[2]

Summary

edit

Directed and produced by Peter Raymont, the film primarily studies the involvement of young Canadians in the activities of these groups, which were making frequent headlines at the time in Canada.[3][4] The documentary was intended for in-classroom viewing, though it aired nationally on CTV.[5]

Interviews in the documentary include Wolfgang Droege, deceased leader of the Heritage Front, George Burdi, former lead singer of RaHoWa and Alicia Reckzin, a former member of the Anti-Racist Action.

Notes

edit

The film erroneously claims that Dunbarton High School is located in Scarborough, Ontario when in fact it is located east in the neighboring city of Pickering.
