About Behind the scenes of fascism
Documentary about the phenomenon of fascism. Filmmaker Emerson Vermaat views secularization as a major cause of the rise of fascist systems. National Socialism, Communism, racism, and the influence of the church are discussed. In the Netherlands, politician Hans Janmaat (between 1982 and 1998) represents the racist aspect of fascism, while in America, it is the Ku Klux Klan. Featuring numerous interviews and archival material.
Directed by Franz Arnold, Behind the scenes of fascism leans on a strong ensemble — Emerson Vermaat, Ilse Goudriaan, Janny Fijnvandraat — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1983.
