Interesting film with no soundtrack about anti-semitism, anti-bigotry and everything else anti. Since there's no soundtrack, only images, it's sort of fun to try to figure out what's going on. For a while there, I actually thought this was FOR bigotry etc. Pretty sure it isn't, though that last image of burning crosses superimposed over some people sure is unsettling.
