Summary of this DVD...
This is a chilling tale of division, racism, and violence. Derrick, a hardcore gangster and a promoter of the Nazi way, is on the path towards a dreary and dark future. His life is changed after prison, but his brother had already started to follow in his footsteps. Will he be able to save his little brother?

Though the faint at heart shouldn't watch this... I do recommend it for those of you who want something real, something believable, moving, and heart wrenching. It will stay with me for the rest of my life.
