Plot

Blending archival and interview footage, Blood in the Face is a close-up examination of the emergence of far-right-wing groups in the United States in the early '90s. The film takes its title from the central myth of these groups, that because only whites can blush, only they feel shame, and therefore only they are human. In a series of amazing interviews, members of the Ku Klux Klan, the American Nazi Party, and the Posse Commitatus reveal the frighteningly over-rationalized logic behind their beliefs. "The Russians and Chinese are amassing tanks at the Mexican border" and "The men behind the Holocaust were Jews" are two of the more preposterous claims recorded by the film. While it's an investigation of the people behind the political power of politicians like David Duke, the film is also a study of how people are overtaken by hate and fear. The result is an essential and powerful documentary. ~ Brian Whitener, All Movie Guide

Blood in the Face is a 1991 documentary film regarding white supremacy groups in the United States. It was directed by Anne Bohlen, Kevin Rafferty and James Ridgeway. It features many interviews with various white supremacy leaders and examines them with a critical tone.

Production details

Blood in the Face was inspired by a nonfiction book by author James Ridgeway, who is also credited as one of the film's directors. This documentary was largely shot in Michigan. It focuses on a single day in the collective life of American neo-Nazis, racists, and conspiracy theorists awaiting people of color to ignite "Racial Holy War" in the U.S.

Filmmakers Anne Bohlen and Kevin Rafferty take an intentionally leisurely, conversational tack with supremacists who have assembled for lectures and workshops on everything from getting their message out via home videos to moving all like-minded "white Christians" to the Northwest, especially Idaho.

Academy Award-winning American filmmaker Michael Moore helps out with the interviews. Clips from the public careers of more prominent racists, such as David Duke and George Lincoln Rockwell, are also a part of this film.
