    Synopsis

    THE ARYANS is a personal journey of Activist Mo Asumang into the madness of racism during which she meets German neo-Nazis, the US leading racist, notorious Tom Metzger and Ku Klux Klan members in the alarming twilight of the Midwest.
    A documentary about right-wing movements worldwide - and their completely wrong interpretation of ‘aryanism’ - a phenomenon which began with French philosopher Arthur de Gobineau and went on with the Nazis. Filmmaker Mo Asumang sets out for a tour de force into the abyss of the political evil and finds out that the Aryans originally come from an area which belongs to Iran nowadays.
