Eye-opener for me, showing problems faced wanting to cut oneself loose from extremist movements, regardless of left-wing or right-wing. Shows many sides of probems faced

Saw this at the Movies That Matter documentary film festival 2019 in The Hague (NL). Very informative. It was an eye opener for me, having never thought about it how problematic it could be to cut oneself loose from these movements. Left-wing or right-wing seems to make no difference. Only the constant fear to meet someone from the movement on the street, would haunt me. We hear that it happens, and that such meetings frequently turn out violently.

Another issue is that some actions that seemed logical and justified at the time, are now causing regret, when realizing the amount of pain it brought within the circles of victims and innocent bystanders.

Many sides of the problems faced are brought forward in this documentary. Also how important it is to have a safe place to hide and support from a close friend, for at least the time needed to create a distance. It is a real problem to find such a place and such a friend. Please note that you've lost all your former friends in the process after joining the movement. In other words, all the friends you have at that moment are within the movement you are about to leave. It creates a vicious circle and hence a virtually unsolvable problem.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
