Those who watched the Hungarian horror movie White God will not be shocked to learn that the camera operator who on Tuesday was filmed tripping and kicking refugees running from police officers at a Hungarian registration camp worked for a television station "closely linked to [Hungry]’s far-right [party] Jobbik." You cannot not find a better example of the kind of Hungarian and European politics that the movie attacks than this camera operator, whose name is Petra László.

Though the television station fired her for "unacceptable behavior" (apparently, it's perfectly fine to hate refugees but wrong to kick them), and there is even talk in certain quarters about charging her with violence against a member of the community, it's clear that László is not anything close to a bad apple, and that her actions reflect a much wider Hungarian attitude toward non-European foreigners. And this is what the movie White God is all about: Hungarian xenophobia.

In the film, non-European migrants are in the form of mutts. They live on little, are constantly pursued by immigration officers, and eventually break out of a holding area, running in every direction, like the (Syrian/Iraqi/Afghan) refugees László tripped and kicked.

In the movie White God, mutts symbolize  immigrants who are oppressed by fascists, racist cops, and a xenophobic society.
