story & synopsis
In the early 90:s there were several racial confrontations in the Swedish society and several Right Extremist groups swelled their ranks. Each year the rightist groups held demonstrations on the 30th of November the date of the death of an 18th century warrior king Carl XII. This drew great opposition from leftist and liberal demonstrators. Also it was a provocation to many immigrant youngsters who felt intimidated.
The documentary is shot during the whole of 1992 following groups of immigrant youngsters and racist skin-heads alike - culminating in riots on the demonstration day.
the skinheads, the imigrants and everyone inbetween
During 1992, Leon filmed and interviewed young teenagers growing up in the suburbs of Stockholm. Among them were a group of racists expressing their opinions on the swedish immigration policy and criticizing the Swedish government for letting so many immigrants in the country. Swedish rapper Dogge Doggelito (Douglas Leon) and the Nationalist rock band Ultima Thule was interviewed for the film representing the young immigrants in Sweden and their opponents alike. The film shows the conflict between the two sides and how the suburbs of Sweden are split up into gangs, depending on your ethnicity.
