A documentary on the Nicaraguan revolution.

A film that reveals the extraordinary race war waged by the neo-Nazi Australian Nationalist Movement (ANM) in the late eighties in Western Australia. This is the chilling story of neo Nazi terrorism under the Southern Cross in suburbia. It explores the dark underworld of neo-Nazis in Australia. Ex-Vietnam vet Jack van Tongeren modelled himself on Hitler and was convinced he was the modern day Fuhrer destined to lead Australia out of a corrupt world where Jews, Asians and Aborigines defiled the majority Anglo Saxon race. Van Tongeren and his Aryan army of malcontent criminals and teenage skinheads lead a terrifying 'war' in Perth of the late 80's firebombing Asian restaurants and defacing Jewish synagogues. There are exclusive, riveting interviews with Jack van Tongeren, a frightening interview with the wife of the Aryan army recruiting officer... and the man who betrayed them, police informer Russell Dean Willey. Supergrass Willey emerged from deep cover and a new legal identity overseas to tell his extraordinary story on camera for the first time. Returning to Australia in disguise, he met the film crew at a secret rendezvous and spoke frankly about his years of crime, terrorising Asian migrants and looting warehouses to finance a campaign of racial hatred in Perth - once famous mainly for flashy millionaires and beautiful beaches. In this rare insight into the making of a racist, Willey explains his fascination with the Nazi philosophy he learned from Van Tongeren. He tells how Nazism gave him the excuse he needed to vent his anger against the Asian migrants he resented so bitterly in his hometown who seemed to be 'taking over'. As the film shows, the Australian Nationalist Movement was brought down by chance and clever police tactics that persuaded Russell Willey to "roll over" and turn police informer.
