From Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv comes this shocking retelling of the real life story of Bryon Widner, a former Neo-Nazi turned anti-hate activist. A destitute young man, raised by racist skinheads and notorious among white supremacists, turns his back on hatred and violence to transform his life, with the help of a black activist and the woman he loves.
What we think: This film is a remarkable, complex, and artistic character study of a conflicted man, fighting to erase tattoos of hate from his skin and scars of hate from his soul.Expected to attend: Director Guy Nattiv, real-life subject Daryl Lamont Jenkins, and cast members.CLICK HERE TO BUY INDIVIDUAL TICKETS TO THIS SCREENINGCLICK HERE TO BUY ALL ACCESS PASSES TO THE FESTIVAL
