The California Reich

It's important to see the perspective of the children presented in this documentary. I wonder where they are today.

Noticing the body language during the couch interview of Ken McAllister and his wife says a lot.

A line of what Allen Vincent says in his 5th floor apartment interview sounds oddly similar to what a recent President controversially said not too long ago.

The film should be at least an M rating not PG.

It's hard to believe the film was made 50 years ago, not with respect to the image quality, rather the ever-present nature of the divide.

Many documentaries and movies have been produced since then, however this film will remain a worthwhile watch.

The film looks inside the Neo-Nazi movement in California in the 1970s. While it is somewhat dated, the frank interviews provide considerable insight into the minds of radical right wingers. I use this film in my college level political psychology class as an illustration of the origins and manifestations of authoritarianism.

This documentary is great! It's so funny to see these losers talk about what they believe. Nobody could have written this. It's way too funny! Anyone who sees this movie will realize how stupid Nazis are. It will deter racists and other bigots from organizing.Allen Vincent is nuts. 10 out of 10! Recommended for all!

I watched this and found it an amazing insight into the older days of the ANP or NS movement of the 70's. Its more an educational film but showed as well how some people get involved in politics more as peer pressure or out of loyalty rather than their own beliefs. The indoctrination of youngsters as shown is a sticky line to tread though they should be left to see whats right and wrong for themselves without influence from left or right as the left do so well here in the uk in all schools. Its an informative documentary that makes me wonder why it has had no further release, can anyone shed any light as to whether it is going to see a further release as with the other similar film/documentary Blood in the Face.

One of the earliest films made about the Radical Right, alerted the world to neo-nazis in California. Because the characters were nearly parodies of Nazis, few took the movement seriously, but as later events showed they were indeed serious and building sympathy for a world spinning out of their comfort zone.

Worth seeing both as an early cinema verite look at the Far, Far Right, and as a important historical insight into a movement that within a decade would have the whole country nervously looking over its shoulder at killings and robberies by a country-wide band of neo-nazis.
