Over the past five years, there has been a significant changeover among radical far-right extremists: the veterans are long gone, either dead or too old. New ideologists are emerging all over Europe, North America and Russia. They do not necessarily shave their heads; they have created corporations, distribution companies, music clubs, magazines, publishing houses, internet sites and they have replaced the old symbols with new ones. With globalization taking a firmer hold and with clear demarcation lines blurring, the hate mongers are rekindling the fires of the past, blowing on their glowing ashes. In this era of new technologies, the United States and Sweden have been deeply shocked to discover their youth inciting racist violence, which has since contaminated the whole of the Western world as well as Russia and its neighbouring countries. The spreading of racist propaganda via the internet and the growing number of racist books, pamphlets, magazines, CDs, audio and video tapes are reaching an evergrowing audience. In this context, neo-nazi ideology seems to have gained new territory and found fertile ground for their propaganda. For its younger representatives, the past is virtual history where the real cannot be distinguished from the fake; their version of the future looks bleak and threatening. White Terror is the last part of a trilogy on skinheads, hate and racism. Over two years of investigation on the most active extremist groups have revealed the international links between them from Stockholm to Dallas via Moscow. Daniel Schweizer, director of acclaimed documentary Skinhead Attitude, investigates the forces that hide behind the «White Power» and the «New Racists» slogans.
