It's terrifying. A Nazi rally was held in NYC before the outbreak of WWII, and this film shows some archival footage from that rally.
There are obvious parallels to modern political rallies, but I was more terrified at the fact that as a nation, there was anyone dancing publicly with the Nazi idea so proudly. I had no idea that this occurred so brazenly in our history, and to this level of scale.
Films like this are uncomfortable to watch, and I do feel like this was a targeted glimpse to look at only pieces that paralleled the modern rally. I want to see more context here and understand what led to this, and if there was any noticeable outcome.
