Pure Race

This scrappy little ultra low-budget action flick is definitely worth a look! The opening moments feature a very basic set-up that quickly gives way to fast-paced action and an involving story. The plot concerns two college students who have car trouble while driving through Northern Idaho. They run into a group of white supremacists and end up having to fight for their lives. That fringe groups such as this actually exist is scary enough, but the script also references much more subtle forms of racism before the action even gets started. The film clearly had a budget of next-to-nothing but manages to make very impressive use of scenic locations, features great stunt work and ultimately leaves the viewer with a message that is thought provoking without pounding you over the head. Inspite of the low-budget on this production, the DVD actually contains some great bonus features including a "making of" documentary that is as entertaining as the movie itself.
