That was an excellent one.

best movie i've ever seen.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I wish that this wasn't a documentary.The movie overall is extremely gripping and entertaining and well-put together. The content is horrible, and I wish that the events shown in it had never happened. This has little to do with my enjoyment of the film, however. The movie was well-put together and I liked seeing all the perspectives. It seemed like the filmmakers were trying to get the audience to sympathize with the nazis, but other than that I enjoyed this movie.

The people that made "Welcome to Leith" did a nice job of presenting a reasonably well balanced and interesting story. While they obviously didn't like the white supremacists featured in the film, they also were sure to present the complete story...warts and all.The town of Leith is extremely tiny and located in the Dakotas. When a crazed white supremacist arrives there and starts buying up property, folks start getting concerned. When he then starts inviting in other like-minded jerks, the town starts to react...strongly. What follows is a film that consists of showing the tiny town's efforts to get rid of the supremacists and prevent them from taking over Leith. Unfortunately, when the neo-Nazis actually do something that might be illegal, some of the townsfolks manage to undo the state's case by talking out of turn...and some of these people later blame the state for the case falling apart. However, the way I saw the film I don't believe the authorities LEGALLY had much more they could do about the supremacists...and the film leaves everything in limbo. This could REALLY benefit from a follow-up to know what subsequently occurred.As I mentioned, the people who made the film were great--they were very thorough and did a wonderful job in presenting both sides. It's not 100% satisfying to watch, however, for two reasons. First, in real life things often DON'T work out perfectly...as the film illustrates. And, Second, despite 99.9% of the viewers wanting to see these neo-Nazis die or go to prison forever, legally this wasn't possible due to Constitutionally guaranteed rights...even the right to be an evil, nasty, hateful individual! To me this isn't a bad thing...everyone deserves protection--whether or not they are nice people...though I am sure many will be angered by this. Despite its shortcomings, it does make for an interesting documentary as well as a great civics lesson.

This is a feature length documentary filmed in the small North Dakota town of Leith. When I say small I mean there were only 24 inhabitants and one bar. It is the sort of place with dirt roads a slow way of life and a sense of community.They like to welcome new comers and then one day Craig Cobb moved in and started buying up lots. The recent oil boom in the area had made real estate suddenly more valuable. Cobb though is one of the top (if that is the right word) white supremacists in the USA and probably the world. He and his followers (seemingly recruited in a trailer park sale) decided they would move in enough of his anti Semite and racist mates to be able to take over the town council – through democracy obviously – and then the town would be theirs etc.This is filmed over a period which saw things coming to a head. It is not an action fest of bad stuff happening but it is alarming at how this could happen. He had flags of all the white countries and this includes the Union Flag (Jack) with a ruddy great swastika stuck in the middle of it. The man has nothing going for him and best bud Kynan Dutton was equally as vile. This is not a show stopper but it is eminently watchable and tells its story in as balanced a way as it probably could have. There is a lot of profanity and offensive language but it only exemplifies the level of feeling that such people provoke in others. If you are a documentary fan then this is well worth a watch.

When I saw the trailer, the reviews, the promos, etc. they really had me hooked with lines like, "Gripping!", "Better than any fiction story", "A horror film come to life", "A town divided by hate", etc. I thought, "Wow. This seems like something I want to see. The town seems small. I'm guessing a few hundred people live there." But partway through the movie I learned the town only has around 20 people and my interest in it sank. I watched the movie with bored eyes as I wanted to finish it but couldn't get over my resentment at being mislead.The filmmakers and the reviewers make this seem like some harrowing story. But, in reality, nobody cares about some white supremacist setting up shop on a few acres of dirt with 24 people in North Dakota. Not even North Dakota people care about this. A place inhabited by 24 people isn't even a town. I'd call that merely a stretch of dirt with 24 people on it. Doesn't a town need at least 100 people? I may sound like a snob, but come on, does anyone really care if some white supremacist sets up shop in a place with two dozen people? If it was more than 100, I'd be interested. But a place with 24 people? Who cares? If you read about it in the newspaper, you'd think, "The New York Times is running an article about some deranged white supremacist setting up shop in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota amongst a so-called town of 24 people in the hopes of creating some booming all-white metropolis? Who cares? Is this news worthy? Let those supremacists set up shop up there. There are no women there. No jobs. Few other white supremacists are gonna make an effort to live there. If they don't freeze their balls off and return to the place they original came from, they'll die of boredom because there's nothing fun to do out there. I have better things to do than care about what happens to some pile of dirt in North Dakota. I'm gonna go watch paint dry."Am I lying when I say that's what people would think if this movie was a news article? The New Yorkers who made this documentary knew people would think this if they read it in an article. So in order to make this boring story interesting, they had to over blow the hype to the extreme. All this hype about how it's fascinating and some sort of interesting story about today's America is garbage. Don't believe the hype. This documentary is nothing more than these bored hipsters' trying their hardest to break into the film industry.
