7 minutes of restored footage of the infamous night Madison Square Garden held a Nazi rally in 1939. This was terribly distressing, genuinely looked like something out of Man in the High Castle. 20,000 in attendance consuming the most incompatible marriage of American and Nazi ideals. I knew about the night prior but I never knew someone rushed the stage, that being Isadore Greenbaum, a true American.

As a record of a frightening and important piece of American history it’s 5 stars.
As a documentary, it’s 7 min of someone else’s footage from 1939.
It should be seen by people, but as a YouTube link that gets passed around. Not as an Oscar nominated documentary.
