Director: Van Fischer
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Ned (Jeremy_Renner of Dahmer) is a proud member of the Aryan Brotherhood who has been admitted to a mental institution for his involvement in a racially motivated murder. Dr. Magnuson (Cary_Elwes) and Johnny (Ethan_Suplee) have trouble keeping Ned in line. Boisterous and belligerent, he's prone to childish tantrums when things don't go his way. Still, the other inmates, like Joey (Eddie_Kaye_Thomas) seem to look up to him. Ned's life at the facility is upended with the arrival of Rachael (Gabrielle_Union of Bring_It_On), a beautiful young black woman who's brought in shouting German, and seems to believe that she's possessed by the spirit of Adolf_Hitler. At first, Ned mocks her, and attempts to provoke her, but soon, his feelings toward Rachael turn surprisingly tender. Eventually, Ned and Rachael open up to each other, revealing the past traumas that left them in such a screwed up state. Ned, still reluctant to give up the accoutrements of skinhead life, tells Rachael about his imprisoned father and his unhappy foster care experiences, and Rachael tells him about being sexually abused, and reveals that she has a young daughter. When Ned is released from the hospital, he convinces Rachael to leave with him, but the couple finds life together on the outside difficult. Neo Ned also stars Steve_Railsback and Sally_Kirkland. It was written by Tim Boughn and directed by Van_Fischer (Blink of an Eye, aka Urban_Jungle). It had its world premiere in the Narrative Feature Competition of the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival.
