Genre: Drama 
Synopsis: 
Danny Vinyard is a problematic teenager with an older neo-Nazi brother called Derek who is sent to prison for killing black people. When Derek leaves prison he has got a different view of the world and now he tries to change Danny’s thoughts because he is also turning into a neo-Nazi person following what he had done before. 
This film deals with a topic like racism nowadays. I think that is something that is disappearing but there are still a lot of things to do about it. In my opinion you don’t have to treat someone in a different way because of their skin colour. This is a great film even though sometimes is a bit hard and disgusting because of the violence. I like the way the film shows that people can change no matter all the bad things they have done.
