A new documentary film details the violent world of young Italian neo-fascists.
“Nazirock,” directed by Claudio Lazzaro, shows fans chanting and giving the fascist salute at concerts by neo-Nazi bands extolling street violence.
The 75-minute film includes interviews with members of neo-fascist groups, and shows footage of extremist rallies and clashes between right-wing soccer hooligans and police.
“Nazirock” will be released on DVD on April 3 – 10 days before Italy’s general election.
The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera posted clips of “Nazirock” on its Web site,
