Overview. Romm's "Ordinary Fascism" pulls out all the stops in its selection of documentary material to draw the viewer not only into absolute horror about fascism and nazism in the 1920s–1940s Europe, but also to a firmest of convictions that nothing of the sort should be allowed to happen again anywhere in the world.
