Pick of the Week :rb:
Thu 19 July - 10.30 - 11.35pm - Channel 4 - Nazi Pop Twins
This documentary tells the curious and disturbing story of Lamb and Lynx Gaede, blue-eyed blonde 14-year-old twins from California and their nationalist band Prussian Blue; they sing whilst wearing their matching Hitler cartoon t-shirts. Unsurprisingly, Louis Theroux made mention of them in a previous documentary made in 2003 but in this up-to-date affair it is James Quinn who attempts to ascertain the twin's veracity and motivations. His theory is that the twins are a mouthpiece for the odious views of their mother; whilst this theory is never proven this documentary promises some bizarre and thought-provoking imagery.
