This intense thriller is based on the true story of Yaron Svoray an Israeli-born reporter. Svoray (Oliver Platt) travels to Germany to investigate neo-Nazism and infiltrates a skinhead gang, after the police mistake him for one of their number. As Platt gets closer to uncovering the leaders of these right-wing fanatics, the full horror of their violent, hate-mongering movement becomes clear. Platt's convincing performance is particularly effective in this timely, memorable and powerful drama.

Was there a plot? If so they lost me. In my opinion a very poor movie.

neo-nazis are bad and dangerous shock
an unemployed writer gets the chance to visit Germany and write about neo-nazi attacks on Turkish immigrants, he accidently gets mistaken for one by them and suddenly is shown a lot of their inner circles, based on a true story but I found it hard to believe that he did not have to prove himself in some way as British infiltrators have admitted to so as to have some credence with the gangs.
