synopsis
This film dramatically explores the roots of race hatred in America. As the film opens, neo-Nazi Derek is sent to prison for three years after shooting some black youths. There he acquires a different outlook as he contrasts white-power prisoners with black Lamont, his prison-laundry co-worker and eventual pal.
