The Aryans
a film by Mo Asumang
Germany | 2014 | Documentary | 90 min
90% of Germans still believe that Aryans were tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed and white. African-German Mo Asumang receives a death threat from the White Aryan Rebels, while in the USA, 32 murders committed by the Aryan Brotherhood eventually point back to two prime suspects who support the NSU terrorist cell in Zwickau and co-edited the magazine “The Aryan Law & Order”. Mo Asumang sets out to get to the bottom of the “legend” of the so-called Aryans.
