Movie Info

'Welcome to Leith' is a feature documentary chronicling the attempted takeover of a small town in North Dakota by notorious white supremacist Craig Cobb. Filmed in the days leading up to Cobb's arrest for terrorizing the townspeople on an armed patrol and his subsequent release from jail six months later, the film is an eerie document of American DIY ideals.

As a short sketch of a fading culture, this is fascinating.

Welcome to Leith is a sober, terrifying look at the very real monsters roaming the quiet countryside.

Tense, incisive, and remarkably objective ...

Top Critic

Hand it to directors Michael Beach Nichols and Christopher K. Walker, who could have made the story into a black-hat/white-hat affair.

Top Critic

You come away from the film realizing that nothing Cobb could ever do to these people is as bad as what they do to themselves out of fear, which may have been his plan all along.

The Public (Buffalo)

Do not miss this true-life thriller.

Easy Reader (California)

Welcome to Leith shows what Can Happen Here, though instead of the old warning "watch the skies," those who can stomach it will have to keep their eyes on hate-speech websites.

August 8, 2017 | Full Review…

This is true-storytelling par excellence.

Paul M. Bradshaw

Welcome to Leith delivers a psychological horror film, one more compelling and politically relevant than your average fiction offering in the genre.

February 22, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

A thought-provoking offering that asks timely questions about the legal status of those espousing unpalatable ideologies, although the subject matter does involve extreme opinions some may find offensive.
