Yesterday, I published a link to a fascinating movie about life in Spain under Franco, which proved tragic for many people. Franco, it should be noted, refused to join the Axis powers despite serious pressure from Hitler, and in fact, took in many Jews who sought refuge from the Nazis during the Holocaust. So he deserves some accolades for that.
However, the brutality that existed and persisted throughout the almost four decades of Franco's rule in Spain were, nevertheless, pretty horrifying. Whether or not he was on board with Hitler's genocidal policies, he still accepted Hitler's help to get him installed in the first place, and his was a fascist regime. So it was pretty damn brutal.
This is a different kind of movie, and in fact, is in an entirely different country altogether. In this short (less than half an hour) documentary, we see one man who loves Viking culture, but hates how it seems to be hijacked by Neo-Nazis. It was interesting, and yet another film which I first saw while watching Al Jazeera lately.
So it seemed worth sharing here. Take a look, and enjoy!
