Summary Structurally weak and sparsely populated regions of Germany, especially in the north, such as Mecklenburg Switzerland, attract a very special form of ideologically extreme right-wing colonists. Nationalist settlers. For generations, such families have settled in the countryside with right-wing sentiments. They often cultivate organic farming, follow traditional crafts and maintain old traditions. They operate in secret and are difficult to grasp. There are no secured numbers and no umbrella organization. Stealth is their strategy. Even their children are brought in line in educational centers. Where villages die, farms are abandoned and schools are closed for lack of pupils, every new settler is welcome and nobody asks what political views are being taken by the new friendly neighbors. They are networked and dangerous. Because therefore they are observed by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The documentary goes on exploration, analyzes their historical roots and describes their influence in today's burgeoning right-wing scene. View more details
