This one got hard to watch. So much hatred, so many derogatory epithets and swears being tossed around. Definitely NOT for the kids. Currently showing on netflix. The film opens with the towns-people introducing themselves, and how they first got to see or meet Craig Cobb,a white supremacist leader. The (true) story of how Cobb bought up land and encouraged other skinheads to come move into the town. A whole lot of people's religious beliefs and general statements being tossed around, from both sides. The writer/directors Nichols and Walker film the supremacists, the townfolk who just want the old, quiet way of life, and even the sheriffs who are caught in between. We meet the inter-racial couple who have lived here for years, and hope it doesn't get rough for them. For various reasons, Cobb ended up in jail, was subsequently released, and has since sold some of the property in Leith. Overall, interesting to watch. Kind of a lesson in legal rights and the line between legal and illegal activity.
