Blood Must Flow - Undercover Among Nazis

The singer bawls slogans of violence, the Neo-Nazi clamor and raise their arms for the Hitler salute: when Thomas Kuban filmed a Neo-Nazi concert with a hidden camera for the first time, he made insights into a youth culture that outsiders hardly ever dare enter possible. Six years on, he has made around 40 undercover recordings, also in countries outside Germany. There is one song that he comes across again and again on his concert tours: “Blood must flow, to extremes, extensively, we shit on the freedom of this Jews’ Republic…”. The material that Thomas Kuban has compiled over the years is highly-charged – unique not only in Europe, but probably also all over the world. Documentarian Peter Ohlendorf filmed Thomas Kuban on his journey across Germany and Europe to revisit venues where Kuban had secretly filmed. The film focuses on political decision- makers, authorities and ordinary citizens. The protagonist of this film must remain unknown; for this reason a pseudonym has been used here. His strange disguise is not only there to protect him; its outlandishness also serves to address the way in which society responds to him as an individual.
