Healing From Hate: Battle for the Soul of a Nation
Film Discussion, March 12, 7:00 pm
Healing From Hate, Battle for the Soul of a Nation is a documentary film that takes a deep dive into the minds of men who gravitate toward white-supremacist hate groups. Focusing on the bold work of the group Life After Hate – an organization founded by former Skinheads and neo-Nazis now engaged in de-radicalizing violent extremists on the front lines, the film examines the root causes of hate group activity.
Healing from Hate is at once a document of racism and white-male grievance in America, and a portrait of a group of people working together to heal communities torn apart by hate and division. View a trailer to the film here: https://shop.mediaed.org/healing-from-hate-p792.aspx....
