The Aryans

    All titles (2)
    Documentary | 2013-2014 | Germany

    Brief synopsis

    A documentary about right-wing movements worldwide - and their false claim to the attribute "Aryan." A mistake that began with the French philosopher Arthur de Gobineau and was built into their racial theory by the National Socialists. Mo Asumang embarks on an adventurous tour into the abysses of right-wing movements today and finds out that Aryans actually come from an area that belongs to modern-day Iran. DIE ARIER is a personal journey into the madness of racism, during which Mo Asumang meets not only German neo-Nazis but also the leading racist in the U.S., the notorious Tom Metzger, as well as Ku Klux Klan members in the soothing scenery of the Midwest.
