In 1978, the American Nazi Party attempted to march in Skokie, Illinois, a community in which many Holocaust survivors lived. This documentary combines live action and interviews with the key players in this series of events—Nazi leader Frank Collin, representatives of the ACLU, citizens and political leaders of Skokie—and examines what happens when two strongly held values collide: a constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and a fear and moral aversion to Nazism.
