Believer
An exploration of what it means to be Jewish and what it means to hate - two separate subjects that happen to overlap in this case.

The Believer
Ryan Gosling stunned audiences with his galvanizing performance as a Jew who becomes a neo-Nazi. The story is inspired by Dan Burros, a member of the American Nazi Party who committed suicide after The New York Times revealed he was Jewish. The film won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2001 but its controversial subject matter scared distributors and it’s among the acclaimed Sundance films that has disappeared from view.
