[edit] Production details

Blood in the Face was inspired by a nonfiction book by author James Ridgeway, who is also credited as one of the film's directors. This documentary was largely shot in Michigan. It focuses on a single day in the collective life of American neo-Nazis, racists, and conspiracy theorists awaiting people of color to ignite Armageddon in the United States.

Filmmakers Anne Bohlen and Kevin Rafferty take an intentionally leisurely, conversational tack with supremacists who have assembled for lectures and workshops on everything from getting their message out via home videos to moving all like-minded "white Christians" to the Northwest, especially Idaho.

Michael Moore helps out with the interviews, which are evenly divided between young people in various forms of Nazi garb and older people who look emotionally exhausted from a lifetime of paranoia and hatred. Clips from the public careers of more prominent racists, such as David Duke and George Lincoln Rockwell, are also a part of this film.
