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.4.500.000 clicks / watch a short Interview of Mo Asumang on BBC plus Film scenes of her film "The ARYANS"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiTXnKEyecg

“I cant be me without you“ these are the wise words of the South African wisdom “Ubuntu“ that Archbishop Desmond Tutu tells Mo Asumang before sending her out on her journey to find the vision of the “Rainbow Nation“ in South Africa, which was supposed to replace the apartheid era. But did that really happen? With the comedian Kagiso Lediga, Mo’s tour guide, they travel in a rusty old minibus to find out if black’s, ands white’s now live equaly together 16 years after Apartheid. Politicians such as F.W. deKlerk (Ex-President), Helen Zille (DA), Patricia DeLille (Independent Democrats), Geoff Doidge (ANC) and others share with Mo their opinions about the existance of the Rainbow Nation. But Mo and Kagiso find the truth in the lives of street children, township families, the periphery of crime and security. ROAD TO RAINBOW portraits the image of a changing african society in an entertaining, profound, and above all in a naive yet provocative way.

The journey of the afro-german Mo Asumang started when she first heard the song that called for her murder “This bullet is for you, Mo Asumang” sang by the Neonaziband “White Aryan Rebels”. Instead of hiding Mo was driven by her desire to overcome her fears and to find out where this hate against Migrants and where Racism comes from. So she took her courage in both hands and meets Neonazis. She meets them in a prison as well as surrounded by 3000 Neonazis at a Nazirally and make a historical interview with Jürgen Rieger, one of the leaders of the rightwing scene. An intimate look into her family History makes clear how deep racism has already touched the lifes of her German Mother and Ghanaian Father. On her search for Identity, Mo even follows the advice of the Neonazis to “Go back where you came from!” But in Ghana she is seen as a white person. Roots Germania is a riskily Roadmovie between questioning pseudo-germanic ideas of right wing populists and finding Identity and self-confidence as a AFRO - GERMAN. In the end Mo dares the confrontation with the leader of the Neonaziband.
