"Betrayed" doesn't attempt to do anything to spare the sensitives of the more easily offended members of the audience. The subject matter here is white supremacy and it is an unsettling insight into the men, women and, most alarmingly of all, children who inhabit this dark, sinister, and dangerously corrosive world. It doesn't shy away when tackling this whole unseemly subject and the often offensive and derogatory racist language will no doubt continue to retain the power to shock and anger audiences many years from now - as indeed will this whole film. It is also a fascinating and illuminating insight into how such people are able to function in the real world and it leaves you dreading what might happen if law and order should fail and society crumbles all around us soon after that leaving the possibility that these gun toting, hate filled, people might successfully rise up and seize control for themselves.
