White Homeland Commando (1993)

Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte

Overview

White Homeland Commando takes the familiar terrain of network action drama and tilts the playing field. Reminiscent of today’s popular reality-based cop shows, White Homeland Commando offers a straightforward story: four members of a special police unit investigate and infiltrate a New York-based white supremacist organization. But that is where the commonplace ends. The teleplay is shot and edited in a highly textured visual style, the colors are subdued yet somehow garish, and the sound is deliberately just out of sync with the speaker’s lips. Occasional static combines with jumps in the plot — the editing is reminiscent of a television viewer flipping channels.

Length 63 minutes
