Desc: L'orchestre noir: Directed by Stéphan Lejeune. With Peter Oehme, Peter Kner, Georges-Henri Beauthier, Walter De Bock. It has long been recognized that fascism was not killed off in World War II, and in this chilling documentary by Stephan Lejeune, two brutal neo-Nazi groups in Belgium are investigated, interviewed, and their agenda of hate crimes laid bare. The VMO and the Front de la Jeunesse have weekend training sessions in hand-to-hand combat and guerrilla warfare. They spout racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Marxist slogans and hold conferences and conventions under the guise of "Christians for Peace" or similar titles. After noting that the offices of a magazine were bombed in the aftermath of an anti-fascist article focused on these youth movements, Lejeune warns that although the speeches of these men may sound irrational and ludicrous, that does not mean the men are not dangerous.
