Mo und die Arier

What does it feel like to come face-to-face with racism? Afro-German TV moderator Mo Asumang attempts a daring, unique journalistic experiment. Bravely and decisively, she seeks out those who preach xenophobia and hate: in fraternities; among 3 000 neo-Nazis at a public demonstration; on a white supremacist dating site. She also meets a star lawyer for far-right groups; neo-fascist esoterics; and even members of the Ku-Klux-Klan. She engages with those who hate her, and thus unmasks them. A searing look at the far right, and a gripping, courageous example of facing one’s own fears and fighting back.
