The Civil War movie Glory is gotta be one of the best.

Holy crap, how did I forget about Glory? That's gotta be one of the best movies ever! I love the scene when they're getting ready to go into battle and they're singing and praying... it's so powerful. And I love the part when the one black soldier got caught running away (I can't remember who played him) and all he went for was food and shoes... but they whipped him over and over... that was beyond expression. It still sends a shiver up my spine now.

Before I even begin this thread, I want to state FOR THE RECORD that NO I am NOT a white supremist. Not one, single, iota of supremacy is in me. So don't read this, and then post that you think I'm some kind of Nazi, because I've just stated that I'm not.

Ok. Now that that's all out of the way, has anyone seen any films depicting White Power? As both a sociologist and someone who has lived their whole life in a very multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-religious city, I find racism fascinating. Terrifying, mystifying... and fascinating. As such, I've started a sort of "collection" of films depicting White Power, racial genocide... of course, the Halocaust... and I'm wondering if anyone else finds these interesting, or if someone can recommend anything? I've seen Schindler's List (not SO much about the Halocaust, but it does have some parts), Swing Kids, Apt Pupil, American History X, White Lies, and The Believer. These movies were amazing. Basically, I watch these movies to try to understand something that's never made sense to me. The power of film, among other things, is that it can show us what we don't want to see, or expose us to something new and different.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had any insights or suggestions...

Super_Grrl,

Tomorrow's children and the wannsee conference are pretty good movies, also last year I saw this movie called the Grey Zone which was excellent.
