American History X: Change

Where were we?

Days in prison pass and Derek realizes about there are a few groups formed by people with different ideology or different race: blacks, neo-Nazis, hispanics... As expected, Derek joins the neo-Nazis group but he suspects they aren't as much neo-Nazis as they say. In fact, he discovers they are dealing at retail with the Mexican gang. Being upset Derek send them to hell (he cannot tolerate to belong to a “neo-Nazi” group which deals with “social parasitic”) so they put him in the spotlight.

Now I'm coming for you my little friends. I'm joking you know, but I want you to think about a few questions I'm asking before going on with the film: Would you be capable of killing someone simply because he/she doesn't share your same ideology? Do you think there are dangerous ideologies nowadays? Which? Are you likely to hate someone only because his race?

Now let's go on.

Derek knows a black guy, who is his partner when he works folding sheets in prison's laundry, and his feelings to immigrants began to change. They are becoming friends meanwhile Derek realizes about foreign people aren't “social parasitic” and about they are as human being as him. In fact, Derek and his new friend began to help each other in order to survive in prison.
