unfortunately shows like these along the lines of American history X and romper stomper help fan the flames of hate for skinheads. in reality most skinheads are not neo-Nazis or neo-fascists. there are very few of these kinds of skinheads around and mostly referred to as boneheads. most skinheads are SHARPS (skin heads against racial prejudice) or really don't care. the funny thing about skinheads is that the subculture is from the Jamaican rude boy culture mostly a black subculture. so please just ignore this show and hopefully shows like these will go away and someone out there will finally make a non bias non ignorant show about skinheads. until then see the movie skin head attitude it's the closest you'll get to the truth through the media.

Insightful, open-minded look at hatred
I was impressed by the non-judgmental view of Skinheads, as director Shari Cookson exposes the hatred you can find everywhere in the U.S. by simply turning on the cameras and letting these people reveal themselves to us. I'm sure some viewers will see this and think the opposite that I did about the people this exposes. There's a scene with people discussing different viewpoints on the streets of a city that I think illustrates the way this should be handled in America: open, non-violent discourse where each side listens to the other - I believe this is called "communication".
A very well done and timely documentary, and just after filming, the skinheads shown here were arrested on weapons violation charges, which is another method the law has of getting rid of "undesirables" who otherwise may not be committing any known crimes.
