100 Per Cent White

A viscerally confrontational, starkly compelling Ch. 4 documentary about 3 former hardline skinheads coming to terms with changing attitudes, and the criminal actions of their antisocial past. A darkly fascinating work, Leo Regan's intensely raw non-fiction film captures the many disturbing issues, and emotional conflicts bluntly raised by those interviewed in this boldly unfiltered documentary.

Colin, Neil, and Nick are undeniably brutal men, with exceedingly disturbing histories, but you certainly have to credit Nick with his earnest attempts to temper the prejudices borne of his tenure as an active member of a militant skinhead gang. Colin is insecure, contradictory, an unrepentantly violent thug, struggling to cope with family life, and reserved, formerly stab-happy, rave-loving Neil, is the most ambivalent, hard to read of the three. An authentic, absorbingly intense, entirely laudable documentary about three initially unsympathetic working-class men with egregious views on race that doesn't simply demonize them. 100% white credibly takes a more humanist, non-reactionary approach, thereby allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions from the material presented.
