DJFF Film Review:

“Presents a holistic picture of why and how certain individuals are radicalized to lifestyles of hate and violence, and how a network of “formers” is lifting the veil. In this kind of documentary, the access to subjects is crucial in talking head interviews, first-person documents, photographs, etc. and this film gives incredible access. We hear language like “take a hike, k*ke” and “Jews will not replace us” and can recognize that anti-Semitism is embedded in the DNA of white nationalism. To, then, see a reformed white nationalist engage with the Jewish community he formerly terrorized is powerful.”
