About Cherry Docs
A neo-Nazi skinhead is charged with murder, and a Jewish attorney is
assigned to defend him. Both are forced to confront their own prejudices.
This stark drama is an unblinking examination of the explosive effects of
hatred - troubling, touching and convincing.  The Toronto Star called it
"...a provocative exploration of the inescapable and insidious presence of
hatred in our society."
About The Believer
The Believer (2001), by Henry Bean, Eric Sandys and Susan Hoffman, was the
winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2001.  Based on a true story, The
Believer recounts the life of Danny Balint from fervent religious Jewish
student to rising star in a neofascist political movement that subverts
almost everything he was brought up to believe.  With a uniquely intelligent
and perceptive vision, Bean steers us on a course, which is both
enlightening and enthralling, one which avoids easy psychological
explanations and creates an unforgettable film experience.  TIME:  100
minutes.
