The Aryans
Mo Asumang
Documentary, Germany, 2014, 92 min
Director: Mo Asumang
A dizzying journey in which narratives of hatred reveal their own fragility. The film ventures into the heart of ideologies that distort reality and questions how myths, fears, and inherited legacies continue to shape how we see the world.

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.
