Skokie background

Skokie

The film revolves around a landmark court case that safeguarded the right to free speech by permitting a neo-Nazi procession to take place in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood.

In this movie, a group of modern-day Nazi activists plan to march through a predominantly Jewish community in Skokie. Despite town officials' advice to ignore them, a death camp survivor, Kaye, vows to take action if they proceed. The mayor tries to stop them, but the Nazi leader takes the case to court, citing a violation of the First Amendment, with the help of a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU.
