American History X American History X is a very controversial movie. It is a movie about a Venice Beach skin head gang called the D.O.C. The gang is run by the master mind of Cameron Alexander who likes to poison children's minds with racism and other negative things like stealing and vandalizing. The story is based around the family of Derek Vineyard who Cameron decides would be the spokesperson for the group. It shows how everybody in his family is effected by his negativity especially his younger brother Danny. Danny sees Derek as a hero and wants to become someone like him.

It is hard to grow up around that kind of thing. I think that she felt some kind of sisterly instinct that something was going to happen to him.
