'The Believer' is based on the true story of a Jewish
neo-Nazi. By day he gives anti-Semitic speeches, raises
money for a neo-fascist movement and plans to bomb
synagogues. By night he studies Torah and teaches
Carla Hebrew while she tempts him with plans to light
candles and say Sabbath prayers. For a brief moment,
Danny has everything he wants. He is a Jew and a neo-Nazi
at once, not reconciling them, but living the impossible
contradiction.
