Based on a the autobiographical book by Thomas Martinez, BROTHERHOOD OF MURDER tells the story of one man's descent into The Order, the US's most notorious white supremacist group. Here, William Baldwin (SLIVER) stars as Tom Martinez, a man who needs to support his wife and family but can't seem to find a decent job. Tom's life changes when he meets Bob Mathews (Gallagher) the leader of the neo-Nazi society known as The Order. Soon, Tom finds himself under the spell of Bob's charisma and The Order's hate speech. However, once Tom sees The Order turn violent, he begins to have second thoughts. He agrees to go undercover for the FBI to bring down Bob and The Order, putting his own life in danger as he tries to gather enough evidence to shut them down.

Based on a true story, Brotherhood of Murderis the sorry tale of Tony Martinez, an army dropout who becomes convinced that the downturn his life has taken is attributable to the fact that America's ethnic minorities are getting a better deal than he is. There's a ghastly inevitability to what follows as he joins a group of white supremacists who are funding a survivalist community largely through criminal activities. Eventually it's more than even he can bear, so he betrays the group to the FBI. Along the way, there are a few extraordinary scenes, such as when the group cleans out the cash register of a porno video store, leaving the proprietor unharmed but demanding that he remove from his shelves any material depicting interracial sex. This low-key but compelling production gives an insight into how such a strange and very ugly culture can arise out of ignorance and blunted perception. The disc also includes a trailer and a Synergy showcase. --Roger Thomas
