The filmmakers did their hardest to convey this true story as being of national importance, but their work dwindles by the end of this documentary and you realize that the entire episode in Leith, North Dakota was literally about nothing at all.
This is a documentary about two nearly impoverished white supremacists who pay a couple hundred bucks to buy up parcels of land in some backwater North Dakota town that nobody cares about. That's all this documentary is about, no joke.
As the two white supremacists move into town some of the townsfolk find out who they are, thanks to media coverage, and then begins a campaign of back & forth harassment between the white supremacists and some of the townspeople.
Eventually the white supremacists are arrested on trumped up charges that are later reduced, but amazingly none of the townspeople are arrested for their harassing activities toward the white supremacists (some of which are captured on video in the documentary).
By the end of this documentary, you're left with a feeling of disdain for both the white supremacists and the townsfolk. You also realize that you would never want to live in North Dakota! Lastly, you realize that this documentary was almost entirely trivial and pointless, has absolutely ZERO national impact or relevance, and going by the reviews and online footprint, almost nobody saw this documentary! Btw, as a resident in a small southern town, I've lived near quite a few white supremacists. My attitude was always different strokes for different folks. I won't judge them if they don't judge me, etc. That seems to have worked well for me for nearly three decades.
