In the tradition of such indelible films as American History X and Romper Stomper, Combat Girls is a sobering story of Neo Nazis in contemporary culture. In this female-centric take on a brutal story, the focus is on Marisa, a young German woman who is a proud member of a gang of racist skinheads. Marisa knows exactly what she hates: foreigners and the glaring role they’ve played in society’s decline. She’s angry and always up for confrontation, unprovoked or otherwise. Along the way we witness how her ill conceived viewpoint was shaped through a rough family life and the unhealthy influence of her war grizzled grandfather. Meanwhile, 14 year old Svenja finds herself in the gang after being persuaded by her boyfriend. She and Marisa become tentative friends as Marisa shows Svenja the ropes of their malicious and violent lifestyle. The winner of several international film awards, Dennis Harvey of Variety calls Combat Girls “a potent drama that offers a perspective both punchy and ambivalent on a female protagonist whose indiscriminate rage challenges without obliterating viewer empathy.”
