American History X (Blu-ray)

His father taught him to hate. His friends taught him rage. His enemies gave him hope.

Derek Vinyard wasn’t born a racist, but he learnt quickly how to become one. Seeking retribution for his father’s murder and burning for a way to vent his rage, Derek (Edward Norton) turned into the charismatic skinhead leader of a local white power movement. From theft and assault, Derek’s violent actions escalated into all-out-war, culminating in the brutal murder of two teenagers. In his eyes, race-hate justice had been dealt. Now after three years in prison everyone awaits Derek’s return; his gang, his violent girlfriend – and his greatest fan, his brother, Danny (Edward Furlong). But what they are about to encounter is a man who no longer views hatred as a badge of honour. Ashamed of his past, Derek is in a race to save Danny and his family from the violence he’s brought down upon them.
