When they finally make an attempt, however, they are captured by the authorities and imprisoned. In jail, they allow themselves to be indoctrinated into the hate-fueled neo-Nazi movement to try and survive their incarceration. The question becomes how much they will allow the ideology to dominate them once they've been released. FUEHRER EX examines the value and costs of both personal and political comradeship. At the 2002 Venice Film Festival it was nominated for the Golden Lion, the festival's highest prize. [More]
