It was screened at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn't entered into the main competition. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.The film featured scenes with Jewish Defense League (JDL) leader Irv Rubin confronting American neo-Nazis.
The documentary was "unofficially sanctioned by the Nazis and The Jewish Anti-Defamation League finds it too mild in its condemnation."
