"Welcome to Leith" is an astonishing portrait of a tiny peaceful American village (only 24 inhabitants) which gets taken over by a bunch of neonazis, who decided to become permanent residents there. The neonazis even take over the town hall meeting and they buy several plots of housing property.
This documentary is a stunning tale of what happens when neonazis suddenly become your neighbour and start walking around your former peaceful village with loaded guns wearing nazi symbols.
As a viewer we get a deeper insight into both the personal lives of these neonazis and their original peaceful neighbours. Will they be able to live together or will there be a violent conflict?
What I liked about this documentary was the balanced view. The neonazis dont get demonized right away by the director, he gives the neonazis ample time to tell their side of the story, although their words and actions on camera speak volumes about their anger and hatred.
I usually never like to watch documentaries about these kind of groups but this one is quite insightful. Recommended viewing. (No visual examples of violence to be seen in this documentary).
