Anton Mussert

This richly illustrated historical documentary investigates the mechanism of nationalist feelings that radicalise. It shows how fascism was on the rise even a decade before the founding of the NSB, due to a number of anti-democratic initiatives led by a millionaire with a predilection for one-legged women, a market vendor, a cleric, and an artist. Historians, writers and collectors of fascist curios reveal how an initially marginal and fragmented movement grew into a radical populist party.

First propaganda film by the NSB, the Dutch National Socialist Movement. Narrated by leader Anton Mussert, the film strives to display the failure of democratic system and states that a country can only blossom under a strong leader.
