Of neo-Nazis and superheroes – How the far right is changing a small German town

Synopsis

In summer 2017, over 6000 neo-Nazis from all over Europe assembled in the small town of Themar for a right-wing rock concert. The film shows how Themar became a stronghold of the right-wing music scene and how the small town has changed since. There's a rift within Themar: between right wing extremists and their opponents. In Themar, as through a burning glass, one can observe how a societal shift to the right takes place and what guises and effects creative forms of protest against this can have. Thus, Themar becomes a textbook example of democracy and why it's threatening to fail.
