Healing From Hate: Battle for the Soul of a Nation
Harkins Sedona 6 - Theatre 2 Thu, Jun 17, 2021 1:10 PM
"Healing From Hate" examines the root causes of hate group activity through the bold work of those battling intolerance on the front lines, including Life After Hate, now engaged in transforming attitudes of intolerance. Documenting a stunning era of hatred in America, the film follows these reformers in their work to de-radicalize White Nationalists, and heal communities torn apart by racism. Established by a group of former neo-Nazis and Skinheads, Life After Hate was initially envisioned as a support network for those attempting to transition back into the mainstream. But with hate on the rise, the group began to focus on community engagement and direct interventions as well. These compelling “formers”, all with deeply moving stories of their own, carry a uniquely personal understanding of the roots of hate – and an equally unique approach to working with active “movement” members that’s grounded in empathy and compassion.

Description

As society's belief systems are seemingly changing, or even reverting in time, one Ohio artist is challenging his community by saying, "bring me your mistakes". Inspired by recent events, Billy Joe White and his Red Rose Tattoo Studio are promoting one simple concept … ERASE THE HATE. "Beneath the Ink" is a timely look at hate and racism in the western foothills of this Appalachian region that reveals heartfelt stories of change and redemption.
