Skokie background

Skokie

The film dramatizes the landmark trial that centered around the First Amendment right of Neo-Nazis to stage a march in the predominantly Jewish town of Skokie.

In the movie, a group of modern-day Nazi activists plans to march through a predominantly Jewish community in Skokie, prompting the town officials to advise residents to ignore them. However, a Holocaust survivor is determined to take a stand against the march, recalling a similar experience in Germany where he was ignored before being sent to a concentration camp. As the mayor tries to find a way to stop the march, the Nazi leader turns to the ACLU, which takes the case to court, citing a violation of the First Amendment.
