Outrage, hatred, excess — exit? What draws or drives people to the radical fringes of expression and action, what can get them out?  At a time when authoritarian tendencies are making their way into politics in many countries, with extremist movements attracting a motley crew of followers –male, female, political, religious, opportunist– what can be done to counteract the lure of the pied pipers and (re-)integrate former fanatics into civil society?

GOETHE FILMS offers a recent feature and two documentaries, with filmmaker and expert introductions, and a further watch list, to shine a light on the dangers of violent intolerance and the dangers of turning a blind eye.

Presented by the Goethe-Institut Toronto.
